Analysis of critical parameters of flow and solute transport in porous media

Modelling flow and solute transport in fractured porous media

A BEM numerical model is presented for the flow and solute transport in fractured porous media, which is based on the dual reciprocity method multi domain scheme (DRM-MD). The model solves the 3D flow equation based on the Darcy law in the coupled system of porous media, fracture network and fracture intersections. Unlike the discrete fracture models, which for simplicity use Fick's law in the ...

Solute transport during cyclic flow in saturated porous media

We consider materials with large pores interconnected by thin long channels saturated with an incompressible fluid. In the absence of fluid flow, solute transport in the porous network is diffusion controlled, however, solute transport can be enhanced when the porous network is subjected to a cyclic flow with zero time average velocity. We develop a mathematical model to analyze this physical p...

the differential effects of debate and media analysis as relate to enhancing efl learners critical thinking ability and writing performances

critical thinking ability has an important role in education. accordingly, scholars around the world are searching for new ways for teaching and improving students critical thinking ability. in line with the studies in efl contexts supporting the positive relationship between critical thinking and writing performances, this study investigated the differential effects of halverson’s critical thi...

Scale Dependence of Flow and Transport Parameters in Porous Media

Three-dimensional analysis of variably-saturated flow and solute transport in discretely-fractured porous media

A discrete fracture, saturated-unsaturated numerical model is developed where the porous matrix is represented in three dimensions and fractures are represented by two-dimensional planes. This allows a fully three-dimensional description of the fracture network connectivity. Solute advection and diffusion in the porous matrix are also directly accounted for. The variably-saturated flow equation...
