چکیده
1. Abstract Motivated by field measurements of aquifer hydraulic conductivity (K), recent tech5 niques were developed to construct anisotropic fractal random fields, in which the scaling, 6 or self-similarity parameter, varies with direction and is defined by a matrix. Ensemble 7 numerical results are analyzed for solute transport through these 2-D “operator-scaling” 8 fractional Brownian motion (fBm) ln(K) fields. Both the longitudinal and transverse 9 Hurst coefficients, as well as the “radius of isotropy” are important to both plume growth 10 rates and the timing and duration of breakthrough. It is possible to create osfBm fields 11

Ensemble Results of Solute Transport in 2D Operator-Stable Random Fields
As it moves through an aquifer, a dissolved solute plume will evolve according to the complex heterogeneities that are present at many scales. Some statistical model must account for the aquifer structure. A fractional Brownian motion (fBm) model has been shown to create the long-range correlation that can produce continually faster-than-Fickian plume growth. Previous fBm models have assumed is...
متن کاملAquifer Operator-Scaling and the Effect on Solute Mixing and Dispersion
The creation of representative aquifer facsimiles is the cornerstone of Monte Carlo stochastic hydrology. This process hinges on the identification and re– creation of the statistical properties (distribution and correlation) of aquifer properties such as hydraulic conductivity (K). Since aquifers may have structures present across a huge range of scales, the concepts of fractional Brownian mot...
متن کاملTwo-Dimensional Solute Transport with Exponential Initial Concentration Distribution and Varying Flow Velocity
The transport mechanism of contaminated groundwater has been a problematic issue for many decades, mainly due to the bad impact of the contaminants on the quality of the groundwater system. In this paper, the exact solution of two-dimensional advection-dispersion equation (ADE) is derived for a semi-infinite porous media with spatially dependent initial and uniform/flux boundary conditions. The...

متن کاملTransport of conservative solutes in simulated fracture networks: 1. Synthetic data generation
[1] This paper investigates whether particle ensembles in a fractured rock domain may be adequately modeled as an operator-stable plume. If this statistical model applies to transport in fractured media, then an ensemble plume in a fractured rock domain may be modeled using the novel Fokker-Planck evolution equation of the operator-stable plume. These plumes (which include the classical multi-G...
