Origins of anomalous transport in heterogeneous media: Structural and dynamic controls

Y Edery, A Guadagnini, H Scher… - Water Resources …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Anomalous (or “non‐Fickian”) transport is ubiquitous in the context of tracer
migration in geological formations. We quantitatively identify the origin of anomalous …

Geological entropy and solute transport in heterogeneous porous media

M Bianchi, D Pedretti - Water Resources Research, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
We propose a novel approach to link solute transport behavior to the physical heterogeneity
of the aquifer, which we fully characterize with two measurable parameters: the variance of …

Effects of tidal fluctuations and spatial heterogeneity on mixing and spreading in spatially heterogeneous coastal aquifers

M Pool, VEA Post, CT Simmons - Water Resources Research, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
We study the combined effect of heterogeneity in the hydraulic conductivity field and tidal
oscillations on the three‐dimensional dynamics of seawater intrusion in coastal aquifers. We …

The impact of porous medium heterogeneity on the thermal feedback of open-loop shallow geothermal systems

M Di Dato, C D'Angelo, A Casasso, A Zarlenga - Journal of Hydrology, 2022 - Elsevier
Groundwater has been increasingly used to provide low-carbon heating and cooling of
buildings with open-loop shallow geothermal systems. Water is generally reinjected into the …
