A Geometrical Model for Tortuosity of Tortuous Streamlines in Porous Media with Cylindrical Particles

We present a three-dimensional geometry model for tortuosity of streamlines in porous media with randomly placed cylindrical particles. The proposed model is expressed as functions of porosity and geometrical parameters with no empirical constant. This might be helpful for understanding the physical mechanism for tortuosity of streamlines in three-dimensional porous media. The model predictions are found to be in good agreement with the experimental data available.

Classical Advection-Diffusion in Heterogeneous Media

A method is proposed for solving the problem of impurity transport in heterogeneous medium due to the classical diffusion and advection. The case when advection is absent was analyzed separately. It focuses on distances from the impurity source, which are much larger than the main body of its localization, and the asymptotic approach developed by one of the authors (P.S.K.) is used. The problem is reduced to solving a differential equation of the first order, which determines the linear trajectory of the concentration signal from the source that arises with this approach to the point of observation. The result for concentration is expressed in terms of one-dimensional integrals along the concentration signal line. The solution of the transport problem in the presence of advection is obtained by transition into the coordinate system accompanying advection. The key elements entering the resulting concentration expression are the effective time and impurity displacement, both are caused by advection.     

Semi-Markov Models and Motion in Heterogeneous Media

In this paper we study continuous time random walks such that the holding time in each state has a distribution depending on the state itself. For such processes, we provide integro-differential (backward and forward) equations of Volterra type, exhibiting a position dependent convolution kernel. Particular attention is devoted to the case where the holding times have a power-law decaying density, whose exponent depends on the state itself, which leads to variable order fractional equations. A suitable limit yields a variable order fractional heat equation, which models anomalous diffusions in heterogeneous media.

Wave Simulation in Frozen Porous Media

We propose a numerical algorithm for simulation of wave propagation in frozen porous media, where the pore space is filled with ice and water. The model, based on a Biot-type three-phase theory, predicts three compressional waves and two shear waves and models the attenuation level observed in rocks. Attenuation is modeled with exponential relaxation functions which allow a differential formulation based on memory variables. The wavefield is obtained using a grid method based on the Fourier differential operator and a Runge–Kutta time-integration algorithm. Since the presence of slow quasistatic modes makes the differential equations stiff, a time-splitting integration algorithm is used to solve the stiff part analytically. The modeling is second-order accurate in the time discretization and has spectral accuracy in the calculation of the spatial derivatives.     

Singular Energy Distributions in Driven and Undriven Granular Media

We study the kinetic theory of driven and undriven granular gases, taking into account both translational and rotational degrees of freedom. We obtain the high-energy tail of the stationary bivariate energy distribution, depending on the total energy E and the ratio of rotational energy E _w to total energy. Extremely energetic particles have a unique and well-defined distribution f(x) which has several remarkable features: x is not uniformly distributed as in molecular gases; f(x) is not smooth but has multiple singularities. The latter behavior is sensitive to material properties such as the collision parameters, the moment of inertia and the collision rate. Interestingly, there are preferred ratios of rotational-to-total energy. In general, f(x) is strongly correlated with energy and the deviations from a uniform distribution grow with energy. We also solve for the energy distribution of freely cooling Maxwell Molecules and find qualitatively similar behavior.     

Stochastic Porous Media Equations and Self-Organized Criticality

The existence and uniqueness of nonnegative strong solutions for stochastic porous media equations with noncoercive monotone diffusivity function and Wiener forcing term is proven. The finite time extinction of solutions with high probability is also proven in 1-D. The results are relevant for self-organized criticality behavior of stochastic nonlinear diffusion equations with critical states.     

Radionuclede Transport Through Fractured Porous Media

Abstract

A simplified model has been developed to arrive at spatial and temporal distribution of radionuclide concentration in fracture waters of granite host rock containing high level radioactive waste repository. The modelling has been carried out using two coupled one-dimensional equations, one for the fracture and the other for host rock. The source term to the model is provided using a two component exponential leaching system from the vitrified waste form stored in the repository. The processes considered are advection, radioactive decay and adsorption on the surface in the case of fracture, and diffusion, radioactive decay and adsorption in the microfissures of the medium in the case of host rock. The concentrations of various radionuclides are discussed in relation to the physico-chemical parameters of the system.

Based on the tortuous-expanding path/channel model, a micro-mechanism model for porous media is de- veloped. The proposed model is expressed as a function of tortuosity, porosity, resistance coefficient, and fluid properties. Every parameter in the proposed model has clear physical meaning. The results show that the model predictions are in good agreement with those from the existing experimental data.

Weak-Diffusion Theory of NMR Signal in Magnetically Heterogeneous Media

A general theory is developed for the effect of molecular diffusion on the NMR signal obtained from magnetically heterogeneous media in the limit of weak diffusion. The theory is based on a rigorous expansion in the diffusion constantD, with the correction to first order inDbeing given explicitly for unrestricted, isotropic diffusion. The expansion allows for an arbitrary sequence of field gradients and 180° spin-flip pulses, making it applicable to a wide variety of NMR protocols. The theory may be useful for estimating the magnitude of diffusion effects and in determining some of a medium's microscopic magnetic properties.     

A Layer-Integrated Model of Solute Transport in Heterogeneous Media

This study presents a numerical solution to the three-dimensional solute transport in heterogeneous media by using a layer-integrated approach. Omitting vertical spatial variation of soil and hydraulic properties within each layer, a three-dimensional solute transport can be simplified as a quasi-three-dimensional solute transport which couples a horizontal two-dimensional simulation and a vertical one-dimensional computation. The finite analytic numerical method was used to discretize the derived two-dimensional governing equation. A quadratic function was used to approximate the vertical one-dimensional concentration distribution in the layer to ensure the continuity of concentration and flux at the interface between the adjacent layers. By integration over each layer, a set of system of equations can be generated for a single column of vertical cells and solved numerically to give the vertical solute concentration profile. The solute concentration field was then obtained by solving all columns of vertical cells to achieve convergence with the iterative solution procedure. The proposed model was verified through examples from the published literatures including four verifications in terms of analytical and experimental cases. Comparison of simulation results indicates that the proposed model satisfies the solute concentration profiles obtained from experiments in time and space.     

Wave Interaction with an Emerged Porous Media

In this paper, we study wave interaction with an emerged porous media. The governing equation is shallow water equations with a friction term of the linearized Dupuit-Forcheimer's formula. From the continuity of surface and horizontal flux, we derived the wave reflection and transmission coefficient formulas. They are similar to the corresponding formulas of the submerged solid bar breakwater. We solve the equations numerically using finite volume method on a staggered grid. The numerical wave reduction in the porous media confirms the analytical wave transmission curve.
