Journal ArticleDOI

Heat as a tracer to quantify water flow in near-surface sediments

Gabriel C. Rau, +4 more
- 01 Feb 2014 - 
TL;DR: A recent review as mentioned in this paper summarizes the existing body of research investigating natural and induced heat transport, and analyzes the progression in fundamental and natural process understanding through the qualitative and quantitative use of heat as a tracer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental investigation of the thermal dispersivity term and its significance in the heat transport equation for flow in sediments

Gabriel C. Rau, +2 more
- 01 Mar 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an empirical formulation for thermal dispersion with Darcy flow in natural porous media and clarified the disagreement regarding its significance, and demonstrated that heat transport with natural groundwater flow velocities can reach a transition zone between conduction and convection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analytical methods that use natural heat as a tracer to quantify surface water–groundwater exchange, evaluated using field temperature records

Gabriel C. Rau, +3 more
- 11 Mar 2010 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the applicability of analytical solutions derived from the heat transport equation to the streambed environments was analyzed using the recorded temperature time series, which was found to lose water to the aquifer, supported by simultaneously recorded hydraulic gradients.
Journal ArticleDOI

A 1‐D analytical method for estimating surface water–groundwater interactions and effective thermal diffusivity using temperature time series

Andrew M. McCallum, +3 more
- 01 Nov 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the amplitude ratio and phase shift of pairs of temperature time series at the SW-GW interface were used to estimate the Darcy velocity, which can indicate periods where assumptions to the analytical solution are violated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigating the spatio-temporal variability in groundwater and surface water interactions: a multi-technique approach

Nicolaas Peter Hendrikus Unland, +14 more
- 06 Sep 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the interaction between groundwater and surface water along the Tambo and Nicholson rivers, southeast Australia, was investigated using 222Rn, Cl, differential flow gauging, head gradients, electrical conductivity (EC) and temperature profiles.
