Modeling Ground-water Flow and Solute Transport in Karst with Lattice Boltzmann Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lattice Boltzmann Methods (LBMs) are relatively new and have not yet been widely applied to ground-water systems. LBMs are particularly attractive for numerical modeling of flow and solute transport in karst aquifers because they are able to: • Simulate inertial flows • Incorporate complex wall and conduit geometries • Solve adjacent Darcian and Navier-Stokes flow regimes • Solve the appropriate advection-diffusion equation in conduit zones characterized by laminar or eddy flow and solve a linked anisotropic advection-dispersion equation in porous media zones with Darcian flow Examples are provided for each of these capabilities.

Karst spring responses examined by process-based modeling.
Ground water in karst terrains is highly vulnerable to contamination due to the rapid transport of contaminants through the highly conductive conduit system. For contamination risk assessment purposes, information about hydraulic and geometric characteristics of the conduits and their hydraulic interaction with the fissured porous rock is an important prerequisite. The relationship between aqui...
متن کاملLattice Boltzmann Method Application on Headwater at Lata Kinjang Waterfall, Malaysia
Headwater accident is a natural phenomenon that occurs in every flow channel, resulting in tremendous incidents that involve vulnerable lives and destruction of its surroundings. This study focuses on simulation of potential headwater accidents at Lata Kinjang waterfall (Perak, Malaysia) with the aim of understanding the behavior of headwater accidents from the hydraulic aspect. By deploying th...
متن کاملLattice Boltzmann modeling for tracer test analysis in a fractured Gneiss aquifer
Fractured Gneiss aquifers present a challenge to hydrogeologists because of their geological complexity. Interpretation methods which can be applied to porous media cannot be applied to fractured Gneiss aquifers because flow and transport occur in fractures, joints, and conduits. In contrast, the rock matrix contribution to groundwater flow is not very important in Gneiss aquifers. Sodium chlor...
متن کاملLattice Boltzmann method for MHD natural convection of CuO/water nanofluid in a wavy-walled cavity with sinusoidal temperature distribution
In this paper, natural convection heat transfer of CuO-water Nanofluid within a wavy-walled cavity and subjected to a uniform magnetic field is examined by adopting the lattice Boltzmann model. The left wavy wall is heated sinusoidal, while the right flat wall is maintained at the constant temperature of Tc. The top and the bottom horizontal walls are smooth and insulated against heat and mass....
متن کاملSimulation of Micro-Channel and Micro-Orifice Flow Using Lattice Boltzmann Method with Langmuir Slip Model
Because of its kinetic nature and computational advantages, the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has been well accepted as a useful tool to simulate micro-scale flows. The slip boundary model plays a crucial role in the accuracy of solutions for micro-channel flow simulations. The most used slip boundary condition is the Maxwell slip model. The results of Maxwell slip model are affected by the ac...
