Observations of short-circuiting flow paths within a free-surface wetland in Augusta, Georgia, U.S.A
Velocity heterogeneity is characteristic of wetland systems and results in some influent water remaining in the wetland for less than the expected residence time on the basis of volume and flow rate. This phenomenon, known as short-circuiting, alters the distribution of the chemical and biological transformations that occur within the wetland. Field observations in a 1.5-km2 constructed treatme...

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 کاملRisk assessment of industrial hydrocarbon release and transport in the vadose zone as it travels to groundwater table: A case study
In this paper, a modeling tool for risk assessment analysis of the movement of hydrocarbon contaminants in the vadose zone and mass flux of contamination release into the groundwater table was developed. Also, advection-diffusion-reaction equations in combination with a three-phase equilibrium state between trapped air, soil humidity, and solid particles of unsaturated soil matrix were numerica...
متن کاملBiodegradation during contaminant transport in porous media: 3. Apparent condition-dependency of growth-related coefficients.
The biodegradation of organic contaminants in the subsurface has become a major focus of attention, in part, due to the tremendous interest in applying in situ biodegradation and natural attenuation approaches for site remediation. The biodegradation and transport of contaminants is influenced by a combination of microbial and physicochemical properties and processes. The purpose of this paper ...
