Electrical resistivity tomography of vadose water movement

TL;DR: In this paper, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) was used to image the resistivity distribution before and during two infiltration experiments, and the change in resistivity associated with the plume of wetted soil was imaged as a function of time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactive transport modelling of CO2 storage in saline aquifers to elucidate fundamental processes, trapping mechanisms and sequestration partitioning

TL;DR: In this article, a reactive transport modeling of CO2 storage in a shele-capped sandstone aquifer at Sleipner has elucidated and established key parametric dependencies of these fundamental processes, the associated trapping mechanisms, and sequestration partitioning among them during consecutive ten-year prograde and retrograde (post-injection) regimes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potentials and Their Role in Transport in Porous Media

TL;DR: In this paper, a macroscopic motion equation for a fluid phase (Darcy's law) is derived, incorporating the effect of potentials and surface forces, and the relationship of advective fluxes to the gradients of macro-scopic chemical potentials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Infiltration of a Liquid Front in an Unsaturated, Fractured Porous Medium

TL;DR: In this article, the position of the fracture liquid front as a function of time, under some simplifying assumptions, is shown to obey a nonlinear integrodifferential equation, showing that the movement of the liquid front exhibits three major flow periods: (1) at early time, the frontal position is determined by the fracture inlet boundary condition and the gravity-driven flow behavior of the fractures with negligible influence by the matrix; (2) at intermediate time, matrix imbibition retards the frontal advance against the pull of gravity; (3) at late time,
