Influence of small-scale heterogeneities on contaminant transport in fractured crystalline rock.
We present a sequence of purely advective transport models that demonstrate the influence of small-scale geometric inhomogeneities on contaminant transport in fractured crystalline rock. Special weight is placed on the role of statistically generated variable fracture apertures. The fracture network geometry and the aperture distribution are based on information from an in situ radionuclide ret...
متن کاملDNAPL Behavior in Fractured Rock – Transport Facilitated by Pickering Emulsions
Laboratory experiments demonstrate that finely divided solid materials (bentonite, iron oxide, magnesium oxide and manganese oxide) can form stable o/w emulsions for NAPLs such as PCBs, TCE, and diesel fuel. These emulsions, referred to as Pickering emulsions, are stabilized by finely divided solid materials that coat the NAPL-water interface; they do not require the presence of a surfactant to...
متن کاملExperimental Determination of Effective Diffusion Parameters in the Matrix of Fractured Till
a solute diffuses may cause the observed, or effective diffusion coefficient (De) to be lower than the diffusion Diffusion is often the dominant mode of solute transport in soils coefficient of a compound in water (D0) (Rao et al., when advection is minimal. This paper describes the application of a radial diffusion cell method to estimate the effective diffusion coeffi1980). Moreover, exclusio...
متن کاملFracture-Flow-Enhanced Matrix Diffusion in Solute Transport Through Fractured Porous Media
Over the past fewdecades, significant progress of assessing chemical transport in fractured rocks has been made in laboratory and field investigations as well as in mathematic modeling. In most of these studies, however, matrix diffusion on fracture–matrix surfaces is considered as a process of molecular diffusion only. Mathematical modeling based on this traditional concept often had problems ...
متن کاملFracture-flow-enhanced Solute Diffusion into Fractured Rock
We propose a new conceptual model of fractureflow-enhanced matrix diffusion, which correlates with fracture-flow velocity, i.e., matrix diffusion enhancement induced by rapid fluid flow within fractures. According to the boundary-layer or film theory, fracture flow enhanced matrix diffusion may dominate mass-transfer processes at fracture-matrix interfaces, because rapid flow along fractures re...
