Journal ArticleDOI
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
John J. Nitao,Jacob Bear +1 more
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
Bayesian Inference and Markov Chain Monte Carlo Sampling to Reconstruct a Contaminant Source on a Continental Scale

TL;DR: A methodology combining Bayesian inference with Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling is applied to a real accidental radioactive release that occurred on a continental scale at the end of May 1998 near Algeciras, Spain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infiltration of a Liquid Front in an Unsaturated, Fractured Porous Medium
John J. Nitao,Thomas A. Buscheck +1 more
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,
