New Approach for Approximation of Dispersivity in Porous Media
This paper presents a simple yet powerful original approach for approximating dispersivity in porous media. The key to this approach is both use of least-squares criterion and image processing technique. Two dimensional transparent models, including horizontal and vertical configurations, under different combinations of grain sizes and pore velocities, experimented. Concentration data were obta...
متن کاملX-ray microtomography determination of air-water interfacial area-water saturation relationships in sandy porous media.
In this work, total smooth air-water interfacial areas were measured for a series of nine natural and model sandy porous media as a function of water saturation using synchrotron X-ray microtomography. Interfacial areas decreased linearly with water satuation, while the estimated maximum interfacial area compared favorably to the media geometric surface areas. Importantly, relative interfacial ...
متن کاملInvestigation of the residual±funicular nonwetting-phase-saturation relation
The constitutive relation that describes the amount of nonwetting ̄uid phase entrapment is critical to the modeling of multiphase ̄ow in porous media, but it has received insucient attention in the literature. We studied this relation using both experimental and modeling approaches: we used a nondestructive, X-ray monitored, long-column experiment that yielded a rich data set for two dierent p...

متن کاملSaturation dependence of dispersion in porous media.
In this study, we develop a saturation-dependent treatment of dispersion in porous media using concepts from critical path analysis, cluster statistics of percolation, and fractal scaling of percolation clusters. We calculate spatial solute distributions as a function of time and calculate arrival time distributions as a function of system size. Our previous results correctly predict the range ...
