Modeling capillary barriers in unsaturated fractured rock
[1] This work presents a series of numerical modeling studies that investigate the hydrogeologic conditions required to form capillary barriers and the effect that capillary barriers have on fluid flow and tracer transport processes in the unsaturated fractured rock of Yucca Mountain, Nevada, a potential site for storing high-level radioactive waste. The modeling approach is based on a dual-con...
متن کاملFRACOD Modeling of Rock Fracturing and Permeability Change in Excavation Damaged Zones
Characterization of Excavation Damaged Zone (EDZ) around an underground excavation is a major research topic for deep geological disposal of medium to high level radioactive waste. Rock fracturing due to excavation and thermal loading and its resultant rock mass permeability change in the EDZ are important aspects in the EDZ characterisation. A new function to predict rock mass permeability cha...
متن کاملGeologic storage of radioactive waste: field studies in Sweden.
Access to a granitic rock mass in an iron ore mine in Sweden provided a unique opportunity for underground experiments related to the geologic disposal of radioactive waste. These field tests demonstrated the importance of hydrogeology and the difficulties in predicting the thermomechanical behavior of fractured granitic rocks. To characterize a site fully, measurements made from the surface mu...
متن کاملDiffusion in Hydrogeology
The field of hydrogeology is primarily concerned with the flow of water below the ground surface and with transport, normally of solutes and heat, within that water. Many disciplines have contributed to this endeavor which requires skills from across the spectrum of science, engineering and beyond. The diffusion equation describes not only solute transport but also the flow of water, via Darcy’...
