Organic contaminant transport and fate in the subsurface: Evolution of knowledge and understanding

HI Essaid, BA Bekins… - Water Resources Research, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Toxic organic contaminants may enter the subsurface as slightly soluble and volatile
nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) or as dissolved solutes resulting in contaminant plumes …

Pore‐scale simulation of carbonate dissolution in micro‐CT images

JP Pereira Nunes, MJ Blunt… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
We present a particle‐based method to simulate carbonate dissolution at the pore scale
directly on the voxels of three‐dimensional micro‐CT images. The flow field is computed on …

Debates—Stochastic subsurface hydrology from theory to practice: Why stochastic modeling has not yet permeated into practitioners?

X Sanchez‐Vila… - Water Resources …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library

Minimum hydraulic resistance and least resistance path in heterogeneous porous media

CB Rizzo, FPJ de Barros - Water Resources Research, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
The transport dynamics of a solute plume in porous media are strictly related to the
hydrogeological properties. Despite progress in simulation techniques, quantifying transport …

Solute dispersion in open channel flow with bed absorption

P Wang, GQ Chen - Journal of Hydrology, 2016 - Elsevier
