Mixing, spreading and reaction in heterogeneous media: a brief review.

TL;DR: This paper provides a brief review on approaches of non-reactive and reactive transport modeling in geological media and its impact on spreading and mixing of dissolved species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inertial effects in dispersion in porous media

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a macro-scale transport equation for dispersion of a nonreactive chemical species, with a particular focus on the influence of inertial contributions at moderate Reynolds numbers.

Renormalization group methods in subsurface hydrology: overview and applications in hydraulic conductivity upscaling

TL;DR: The renormalization group (RG) approach is a powerful theoretical framework, more suitable for upscaling strong heterogeneity than low-order perturbation expansions as mentioned in this paper, and applications of RG methods in subsurface hydrology include the calculation of macroscopic transport parameters such as effective and equivalent hydraulic conductivity and dispersion coefficients, and anomalous exponents characterizing the dispersion of contaminants due to long-range conductivity correlations.

Upscaling of reactive mass transport in fractured rocks with multimodal reactive mineral facies

TL;DR: Deng et al. as discussed by the authors presented a methodology for upscaling matrix-material transport parameters in fractured flow dominated systems with multimodal reactive mineral facies, where a conceptual model of hierarchical reactive matrix minerals facies was integrated with a dual-porosity model for simulating diffusion of solutes out of fractures and sorption onto the matrix minerals.

Reactive solute transport in physically and chemically heterogeneous porous media with multimodal reactive mineral facies: The Lagrangian approach

TL;DR: This paper uses the Deng et al. (2013) conceptual model for multimodal reactive mineral facies and a Lagrangian-based stochastic theory in order to analyze the reactive solute dispersion in three-dimensional anisotropic heterogeneous porous media with hierarchical organization of reactive minerals.

Flow and Transport in Porous Formations

Gedeon Dagan
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a systematic and comprehensive approach to analyze the large scale heterogeneity of aquifers and its effect on the transport of contaminant in subsurface hydrology.

Three‐dimensional stochastic analysis of macrodispersion in aquifers

TL;DR: In this article, the dispersive mixing resulting from complex flow in three-dimensionalally heterogeneous porous media is analyzed using stochastic continuum theory, which is consistent with controlled field experiments and Monte Carlo simulations.

A natural gradient experiment on solute transport in a sand aquifer: Spatial variability of hydraulic conductivity and its role in the dispersion process

TL;DR: The Borden aquifer was examined in great detail by conducting permeability measurements on a series of cores taken along two cross sections, one along and the other transverse to the mean flow direction as discussed by the authors.

The Physics of Fluid Turbulence

W. D. McComb
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a reference record created on 2005-11-18, modified on 2016-08-08, using the term "fluid reference record" to describe the fluides reference record.

Solute transport in heterogeneous porous formations

TL;DR: In this article, a first-order perturbation approximation of the Eulerian velocity covariances for uniform average flow is used to derive closed-form expressions of the closedform expressions for the concentration expectation value, which satisfies a diffusion equation with time-dependent apparent dispersion coefficients.
