Abstract: Diffusive mass transfer between fracture and matrix accompanied with sorption significantly influences the efficiency of natural attenuation in hard rocks. While these processes have extensively been studied in a fractured ...

Abstract: The present paper addresses critical issues that describe the transient transfer of stored rock-matrix flow into high-permeable fractures and rate-limited diffusive solute flux into low-permeable rock matrix using a typical ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis using spatial moments for transport of nonreactive solutes in a single fracture-matrix system using a dual porosity framework. The velocity and dispersion obtained using the first and second ...

Abstract: This paper presents a spatial-moment analysis of nonisothermal solute transport with simplified dissolution/precipitation of quartz in a single fracture-matrix system using a dual porosity framework. For this purpose, a ...

Abstract: The behavior of the solute velocity and effective macrodispersivity of solute front in the fracture for the transport in a single fracture in the presence of rock matrix diffusion is analyzed using numerical modeling. The ...

Abstract: Field studies show that the variance of travel distance often increases nonlinearly with time elapsed after release of solute tracers. The nonlinear relationship between variance of travel distance and time is attributed ...
