We have studied the combined imbibition and evaporation of surfactant solutions into thin
porous media by means of experiments and numerical simulations. Solutions of anionic and …

Surfactants can reduce soil water retention by changing the surface tension of water and the
contact angle between the liquid and solid phases. As a result, water flow and solute …

In a time of resource reduction and climate variability, water conservation is critical to
improve agroecosystem sustainability. Non-ionic surfactants were recently hypothesized as …

This study deals with an application of vapor in the remediation of soils in an extensive part
of the Ostrava city center (Czech Republic) needed to be decontaminated from abundant tar …

This study used numerical analysis to determine the transport phenomena of hot water
infiltration in a two-dimensional granular packed bed. The present study aims to investigate …

The rheological properties of a fluid in terms of viscosity η and surface tension γ are often
neglected in studies on hydrostatic and hydrodynamic phenomena. However, their …

Surfactant miscible-displacement (SMD) column experiments are used to measure air-water
interfacial area (AI) in unsaturated porous media, a property that influences solute transport …

In the present study an experimental investigation of heat transport and water infiltration in
granular packed bed (unsaturated porous media) due to supplied water flux is carried out …

Surfactants (ie, solutes that reduce the surface tension of water) exist in the subsurface
either naturally or are introduced to the subsurface due to anthropogenic activities (eg …

The characteristics of heat transport and water infiltration in a granular packed bed due to
supplied hot water are investigated experimentally and numerically. The distributions of …
