Three-dimensional microscale flow simulation and colloid transport modeling in saturated soil porous media
Transport of sub-micron colloid particles in soil porous media has been mostly studied numerically with unit-cell-based grain-scale geometries. In this study, we develop a more general approach by combining a multiple-grain pore-scale flow simulation with Lagrangian tracking of individual colloids. First, two numerical methods are applied simultaneously to solve viscous flows in a channel parti...
متن کاملTransport of Silica Colloid through Saturated Porous Media under Different Hydrogeochemical and Hydrodynamic Conditions Considering Managed Aquifer Recharge
Colloids may have an important role in regulating the structure and function of groundwater ecosystems, and may influence the migration of low solubility contaminants in groundwater. There is, however, a degree of uncertainty about how colloids behave under the variable hydrogeochemical and hydrodynamic conditions that occur during managed aquifer recharge. We used an online monitoring system t...
متن کاملPhysical factors affecting the transport and fate of colloids in saturated porous media
[1] Saturated soil column experiments were conducted to explore the influence of colloid size and soil grain size distribution characteristics on the transport and fate of colloid particles in saturated porous media. Stable monodispersed colloids and porous media that are negatively charged were employed in these studies. Effluent colloid concentration curves and the final spatial distribution ...
متن کامل[Proceeding] Simulation of the transport of nanofluids in porous media: particle deposition and clogging phenomena
Recently, the use of engineered nanoparticles has been proposed for a variety of environmental applications, such as enhanced oil recovery, subsurface characterization and in situ contaminant remediation. As an example, injection into the subsurface of suspensions of microscale and nanoscale zerovalent iron particles (MZVI and NZVI) have proved to be a promising technology for treatment of aqui...
متن کاملA microscale model of bacterial and biofilm dynamics in porous media.
A microscale model for the transport and coupled reaction of microbes and chemicals in an idealized two-dimensional porous media has been developed. This model includes the flow, transport, and bioreaction of nutrients, electron acceptors, and microbial cells in a saturated granular porous media. The fluid and chemicals are represented as a continuum, but the bacterial cells and solid granular ...
