A new mobile‐immobile model for reactive solute transport with scale‐dependent dispersion
[1] This study proposed a new mobile‐immobile model (MIM) to describe reactive solute transport with scale‐dependent dispersion in heterogeneous porous media. The model was derived from the conventional MIM but assumed the dispersivity to be a linear or exponential function of travel distance. The linear adsorption and the first‐order degradation of solute were also considered in the model. The...
متن کاملAn Assessment of Factors Affecting Reactive Transport of Biodegradable BTEX in an Unconfined Aquifer System, Tehran Oil Refinery, Iran
Risk-based assessment methods are commonly used at the contaminated sites by hydrocarbon pollutants. This paper presents the results of a two-dimensional finite volume model of reactive transport of biodegradable BTEX which have been developed for the saturated zone of an unconfined aquifer in the Pump station area of Tehran oil refinery, Iran. The model governing equations were numerically sol...
متن کاملLongitudinal Dispersion and Tracer Migration in a Radial Flow Field
Hydrodynamic dispersion is an important factor controlling contaminant migration in the subsurface environment. However, few comprehensive data sets exist for evaluating the impact of travel distance and site heterogeneity on solute dispersion under non-uniform flow conditions. In addition, anionic tracers are often used to estimate physical transport parameters based on an erroneous assumption...
متن کاملExperimental and Mathematical Investigation of Time-Dependence of Contaminant Dispersivity in Soil
Laboratory and field experiments have shown that dispersivity is one of the key parameters in contaminant transport in porous media and varies with elapsed time. This time-dependence can be shown using a time-variable dispersivity function. The advantage of this function as opposed to constant dispersivity is that it has at least two coefficients that increase the accuracy of the dispersivity p...
متن کامل"Forced mass balance" technique for estimating in situ transformation rates of sorbing solutes in groundwater.
A method for estimating in situ transformation rates of sorbing solutes in groundwater is presented. The method utilizes a novel data processing technique called "forced mass balance" (FMB) to remove the effects of transport processes from reactant and product concentrations measured during single-well, "push-pull" tests. The effectiveness of the FMB technique was evaluated by quantifying error...
