Solute transport along preferential flow paths in unsaturated fractures
Laboratory experiments were conducted to study solute transport along preferential flow paths in unsaturated, inclined fractures. Qualitative aspects of solute transport were identified in a miscible dye tracer experiment conducted in a transparent replica of a natural granite fracture. Additional experiments were conducted to measure the breakthrough curves of a conservative tracer introduced ...
متن کامل78: Models of Water Flow and Solute Transport in the Unsaturated Zone
A large number of models for simulating water flow and solute transport in the unsaturated zone are now increasingly being used for a wide range of applications in both research and management. Modeling approaches range from relatively simple analytical and semianalytical solutions, to complex numerical codes. While analytical and semianalytical solutions are still popular for some applications...
متن کاملSolute flux approach to transport through spatially nonstationary flow in porous media
A theoretical framework for solute flux through spatially nonstationary flows in porous media is presented. The flow nonstationarity may stem from medium nonstationarity (e.g., the presence of distinct geological layers, zones, or facies), finite domain boundaries, and/or fluid pumping and injecting. This work provides an approach for studying solute transport in multiscale media, where random ...
متن کاملLaboratory Method for Estimating Solute Transport Parameters of Unsaturated Soils
Modeling the contaminant transport process in soils requires the solute transport parameters. Displacement experiments were carried out on soil columns (Sand – Silt – Clay) by injecting a solution of 0.8 M KCl in a steady state. Breakthrough curves are symmetrical, characteristics of an equilibrium solute transport. The hydrodynamic dispersion coefficients were estimated by optimizing the measu...
متن کاملSolute spreading in nonstationary flows in bounded, heterogeneous unsaturated-saturated media
[1] It is commonly assumed in stochastic solute (advective) transport models that either the velocity field is stationary (statistically homogeneous) or the mean flow is unidirectional. In this study, using a Lagrangian approach, we develop a general stochastic model for transport in variably saturated flow in randomly heterogeneous porous media. The mean flow in the model is multidirectional, ...
