A Modified HYDRUS Model for Simulating PFAS Transport in the Vadose Zone

Vadose Zone Processes and Chemical Transport

soils. A natural obstacle to this practice is the accelerated aging of iron and loss of reactivity resulting from O2 Permeable zerovalent iron (Fe0 ) barriers have become an estabin the soil atmosphere. Despite this apparent limitation, lished technology for remediating contaminated ground water. This same technology may be applicable for treating pesticides amenable situations could arise wher...

A Vadose Zone Flow and Transport Model for Los Alamos Canyon, Los Alamos, New Mexico

To gain an integrated understanding of flow and transport in the vadose zone and its role in transmitting conA vadose zone flow and transport model for Los Alamos Canyon tamination to the regional aquifer, conceptual flow and is presented that demonstrates that a comprehensive understanding transport models must be combined with site-specific of vadose zone hydrologic processes can be obtained ...

Colloid-facilitated Transport of Radionuclides through the Vadose Zone

Research Objectives: This project seeks to improve the basic understanding of colloid and colloid-facilitated transport of Cs in the vadose zone. The specific objectives are: • Determine the structure, composition, and surface charge characteristics of colloidal particles formed under conditions similar to those occurring during leakage of waste typical of Hanford tank supernatants into soils a...

An Improved Dual-Permeability Model of Water Flow and Solute Transport in the Vadose Zone

onstrated under field conditions (e.g., Flury, 1996; Jarvis, 2002). We introduce an improved, one-dimensional, non-steady-state dualIn recent years, our knowledge of the mechanisms that permeability model (MACRO 5.1). The model simulates water flow generate and sustain preferential movement of water and solute transport in the vadose zone of structured soils by coupling and solutes has been inc...
