RAPPORT Analysis of DNAPL infiltration in a medium with a low - permeable lens

چکیده

In this paper we study the innltration of DNAPL in a porous medium containing a single low-permeable lens. Our aim is to determine whether DNAPL innltrates into the lens, or not. A key role is played by the capillary pressure: DNAPL cannot innltrate into the lens unless the capillary pressure exceeds the entry pressure of the lens. In the model this is reeected by an interface condition for the capillary pressure. Both a homogeneous medium and a medium with a lens are analyzed. For the homogeneous connguration we derive an estimate of the stationary DNAPL plume width as a function of depth, and an asymptotic solution for small saturations. For the connguration with a lens we assume that the lens is much larger than the width of the unperturbed DNAPL plume in the homogeneous medium. We show that DNAPL innltrates into the lens if a critical innow rate is exceeded. This innow rate is determined explicitly. A numerical algorithm is presented in which the extended capillary pressure condition is incorporated. Good agreement is found between the numerical and analytical results.

Architecture, persistence and dissolution of a 20 to 45 year old trichloroethene DNAPL source zone.

A detailed field-scale investigation of processes controlling the architecture, persistence and dissolution of a 20 to 45year old trichloroethene (TCE) dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) source zone located within a heterogeneous sand/gravel aquifer at a UK industrial site is presented. The source zone was partially enclosed by a 3-sided cell that allowed detailed longitudinal/fence transec...

Infiltration of PCE in a system containing spatial wettability variations.

A two-dimensional infiltration experiment was conducted to investigate and quantify the effect of spatial wettability variations on DNAPL migration and entrapment in saturated sands. Experimental observations of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) infiltration showed that organic-wet sand lenses acted as very effective capillary barriers, retaining PCE and inhibiting its downward migration. A multiphase ...

Flexure and Residual Astigmatism with RGP Lenses of Low, Medium, and High Oxygen Permeability

Lens flexure and residual astigmatism were evaluated with rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses made in low, medium, and high oxygen permeable (Dk) materials to determine if significant differences would be apparent as lens Dk was changed. Fourteen successful RGP contact lens wearers had their customary lens parameters, including lens thickness, held constant in duplicate pairs made in low (...
