Cold stage Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with a rapid cooling technique makes it possible to investigate the water phase within unsaturated porous media. It is thought that this technique preserves the main features of the micromorphology of the water menisci as it exists in the liquid phase in soils. Saddle-shaped elements, as well as pendular rings of water, were observed with concave and convex curvatures of the water-air interface. The hydraulic conductivity of an unsaturated soil may be inferred from SEM photographs. Observations of isolated water menisci indicate the existence of an immobile water domain. The surface geometry of the water menisci was analyzed quantitatively and surface tension and capillary pressure were determined. 相似文献

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can noninvasively map the spatial distribution of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)-sensitive nuclei. This can be utilized to investigate the transport of fluids (and solute molecules) in three-dimensional model systems. In this study, MRI was applied to the buoyancy-driven transport of aqueous solutions, across an unstable interface in a three-dimensional box model in the limit of a small Péclet number (Pe<0.4). It is demonstrated that MRI is capable of distinguishing between convective transport (fingering) and molecular diffusion and is able to quantify these processes. The results indicate that for homogeneous porous media, the total fluid volume displaced through the interface and the amplitude of the fastest growing finger are linearly correlated with time. These linear relations yielded mean and maximal displacement velocities which are related by a constant dimensionless value (2.4±0.1). The mean displacement velocity (U) allows us to calculate the media permeability which was consistent between experiments (1.4±0.1×10–7cm2).U is linearly correlated with the initial density gradient, as predicted by theory. An extrapolation of the density gradient to zero velocity enables an approximate determination of the critical density gradient for the onset of instability in our system (0.9±0.3×10–3 g/cm3), a value consistent with the value predicted by a calculation based upon the modified Rayleigh number. These results suggest that MRI can be used to study complex fluid patterns in three-dimensional box models, offering a greater flexibility for the simulation of natural conditions than conventional experimental modelling methods. 相似文献

Evaluation of pollution endangering groundwater resources beneath fractured sediments may be achieved by estimating the transport
rates and recharge amounts of both the matrix and the fissure components. This study examines the transport of water by matrix
and fissure flow in the unsaturated zone using environmental tritium as a natural tracer. A 35-year record of tritium concentration
along 40 m calcareous sandstone column was reconstructed. It was found that on the average, 40 mm yr1 (8% of the yearly rain) percolated downward through the matrix pores at a velocity of 1.1 m yr1. An additional amount of more than 20 mm yr1 (more 4% of the rains) percolated rapidly through fissure network. These field data fit and support the model proposed by
Wang and Narashimham (1985) that the bulk of the water movement under unsaturated conditions occurs through interconnected
pores in the matrix. 相似文献

In a phreatic aquifer, bubbles may result from the entrapment of air during groundwater recharge and/or bacterial metabolism. The calculated critical depth of about 1 m at which bubbles are most likely to be found in a granular aquifer, coincides with the depth of 0.60 m of an almost stagnant water layer (specific discharge 1 × 10-6 cm sec-1) found at the water table region under natural flow conditions. Bubbles clog pores and therefore reduce the hydraulic conductivity without significantly reducing the volumetric water content. Stagnation at the water table region results since prevailing pressures (in the order of 10-1 atmospheres) are not sufficiently large to move bubbles through porous media in a water environment. 相似文献
