Flow processes in the dry regime : the effect on capillary barrier performance

Creator:

Jansik, Danielle P.

Abstract:

Engineered capillary barriers typically consist of two layers of granular materials designed so that the contrast in sediment hydrologic properties and sloping interface retains infiltrating water in the upper layer. We report here on the results of two bench-top capillary barrier experiments, and associated modeling. These experiments were conducted to...

Exploring the Wettability States and Contact Angle Variation in Porous Media Multi-Phase Flow Systems

Creator:

Behnoudfar, Diba

Abstract:

The wetting of a surface by a liquid is a crucial part of many natural and industrial processes. Despite numerous existing studies, some elements of wetting-dewetting such as contact angle variation are still poorly understood. Knowledge of contact angle behavior during the flow is necessary for modeling fluid displacements in...

Thermodynamic correction for salts in variably saturated porous media

Creator:

Burns, Erick R.

Abstract:

Using thermodynamic principles, the general relationship describing the equilibrium vapor content in the gas phase above a saline liquid and across a curved liquid-gas interface is developed. Since high salt concentration also affects the intensive and extensive liquid properties, it is also necessary to account for these effects in liquid...
