Previous studies of hyporheic zone focused largely on the net mass transfer of solutes between stream and streambed. Solute transport processes within the bed has attracted less investigation. In this study, we combined flume experiments and numerical simulations to examine solute transport processes in a streambed with periodic bedforms. Solute originating from the stream was subjected to adve...

Time-dependent Stokes shifts (TDSS) were measured for diverse polarity probes in water, heavy water, methanol, and benzonitrile, by broadband fluorescence up-conversion with 85 fs time resolution. In water the spectral dynamics is solute-independent and quantitatively described by simple dielectric continuum theory of solvation. In methanol the slower part of the TDSS is solute-dependent. A cor...

The impact of permeability on solute transport process in a highly heterogeneous aquifer was analyzed using the Monte-Carlo method. The logarithm of the permeability (lnK) of aquifer was considered as a non-stationary field with increments being a truncated fractional Lévy motion (fLm) generated using the SRA3DC code. MODFLOW and MT3DMS code were used to solve the flow and solute equations, res...

A finite element formulation of neutral solute transport across a contact interface between deformable porous media is implemented and validated against analytical solutions. By reducing the integral statements of external virtual work on the two contacting surfaces into a single contact integral, the algorithm automatically enforces continuity of solute molar flux across the contact interface,...

on the onset of triple-diffusive convection in a horizontal layer of nanofluid heated from below and salted from above and below is studied both analytically and numerically. the effects of thermophoresis and brownian diffusion parameters are also introduced through buongiorno model in the governing equations. by using linear stability analysis based on perturbation theory and applying normal m...

the physicochemical properties of solute in solutions provide valuable information on solute –solvent, solute – solute and solvent – solvent interactions. the intermolecular forces between theliquids molecules and solvent molecules affect the viscosity of the solution. information regardinginter and intra molecular interactions can be obtained from volumetric, and viscometric data in asolute so...

We have investigated changes in water properties when deforming an initially spherical cavity into an oblate ellipsoid of equal volume in liquid water. The purely hydrophobic cavity has an initial thermal radius of 6.45 A and is flattened out to an oblate ellipse with a thickness corresponding to one layer of methane molecules. The water-solute interactions are modeled by a repulsive, single-si...

A computational method was developed which relates the empirical linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) solute polarity parameter, S (formerly denoted ), to two more fundamental quantities: a polarizability term and a computed solvent-accessible-surface electrostatic term. Electrostatics computations were conducted explicitly or with dielectric field polarizable continuum models (PCM, SCIP...

Precipitation/dissolution reactions coupled with solute transport are modelled as a cellular automaton in which solute molecules perform a random walk on a regular lattice and react according to a local probabilistic rule. Stationary solid particles dissolve with a certain probability and, provided solid is already present or the solution is saturated, solute particles have a probability to pre...

The solubility parameter ofsoybean oil, 62, has been determined by the technique of inverse gas chromatography (IGC). Using soybean oil as the stationary phase, solute retention volumes were precisely determined as a function of temperature using 22 solute probes of varying solubility parameter (6]). Solvent (oil)-solute interaction parameters, X, were also calculated from the solute retention ...
