Archeo Sciences n°33-2009 2D Electrical Resistivity Tomography surveys optimisation of solutes transports in porous media

چکیده
The purpose of this study is to quantify experimentally the evolution of dissolved species in porous media from 2D resistivity models. Transport experiments are carried out at the laboratory scale by performing flow in a model porous medium obtained by filling a transparent container with mono disperse glass beads. A tracer made by mixing a dissolved of blue dye and a known NaCl concentration is injected with a constant flow rate through the porous medium already saturated by a transparent fluid. ERT measurements are acquired during the fluid flow. The measurement conditions and the inversion parameters are estimated so that the relation between spatial and temporal resolutions is optimised. A video follow-up is also carried out during the upward tracer propagation. The comparison of the temporal evolution of the NaCl concentration distribution estimated from ERT models with Video analysis shows remarkable agreement.

Moisture ingress is one of the major damaging factors for building material. Today, the only approved way to assess such damages is the oven-drying Darr-method, which is essentially destructive. At BAM substantial progress has been made using the geophysical complex resistivity (CR) method, which can be applied non-destructively and provides spatial information along 2D sections rather than pun...

This work is a primary achievement in studying the CO2 and N2–oil systems. To predict gas-liquid relative permeability curves, a Shan-Chen type multicomponent multiphase lattice Boltzmann model for two-phase flow through 2D porous media is developed. Periodic and bounce back boundary conditions are applied to the model with the Guo scheme for the external body force (i.e.,...
متن کاملDetection of sinkholes using 2D electrical resistivity imaging
Sinkholes in dolomitic areas are notoriously difficult geophysical targets, and selecting an appropriate geophysical solution is not straightforward. Electrical resistivity imaging, or tomography (RESTOM) is well suited to mapping sinkholes because of the ability of the technique for detecting resistive features and discriminating subtle resistivity variations. RESTOM surveys were conducted at ...
