Nonergodic solute transport in three-dimensional heterogeneous isotropic aquifers
The general expressions for the time-dependent ensemble averages of the second spatial moments ^A& and the effective dispersivities g, defined as (1/ 2m)(d^A&/dt) where m is the magnitude of the mean flow velocity m, are evaluated in order to study the effect of initial plume size on ^A& and g in three-dimensional heterogeneous isotropic aquifers under the first-order approximation to the parti...
متن کاملPredicting flow and transport in highly heterogeneous alluvial aquifers
Successful prediction of groundwater flow and solute transport through highly heterogeneous aquifers has remained elusive due to the limitations of methods to characterize hydraulic conductivity (K) and generate realistic stochastic fields from such data. As a result, many studies have suggested that the classical advective-dispersive equation (ADE) cannot reproduce such transport behavior. Her...
متن کاملPathways for advective transport
Advective transport in the ocean fundamentally is Lagrangian in nature. At model grid scales, this transport is parameterized by eddy or turbulent exchange coefficients in analogy to molecular diffusion. Nevertheless, much of the transport is by advection on scales larger than the grid cell yet smaller than basin scale. Moreover, flow at these scales tends to be nonstationary in time and irregu...
متن کاملAdvective transport in percolation clusters.
We simulate advective transport in bond percolation clusters at the critical point. We compute the histogram of flow speeds in each bond of the backbone and find the multifractal spectrum for two-dimensional lattices with linear dimension L2000 and in three dimensions for L250 . We demonstrate that in the limit of large systems all the negative moments of the velocity distribution become ill-de...
متن کاملAnalytical models of contaminant transport in coastal aquifers
The Henry formulation, which couples subsurface flow and salt transport via a variable-density flow formulation, can be used to evaluate the extent of sea water intrusion into coastal aquifers. The coupling gives rise to nontrivial flow patterns that are very different from those observed in inland aquifers. We investigate the influence of these flow patterns on the transport of conservative co...
