This repository contains the data associated with the paper "Steady-State Diffusion in a Spatially Varying Porous Medium" to be published in Advances in Water Resources. These data include the information and program scripts required to reproduce the results reported in the publication. In particular, the data set includes (1) COMSOL...
Quantification of macroscale transport phenomenon in microfluidic systems is important to many science and engineering disciplines. In part, this is because fully resolved solutions to microscale balance laws over large domains are out of reach with current computational technology. Additionally, engineers are most often interested in some upscaled quantity and...
A direct numerical simulation of advection-diffusion in a sinusoidal tube was
carried out using the commercial finite-volume code STAR-CD. The Reynolds
numbers varied from Re = 0.1 to Re = 14.5. At the larger Reynolds numbers,
steady-state eddies formed in the diverging sections and significantly influenced
the macroscale dispersion. Long...
The conventional advection-dispersion equation cannot adequately describe all processes driving
solute transport in heterogeneous systems. This dissertation focuses on the individual influences
of both chemical (Chapter 2) and physical processes (Chapters 3 and 4) which affect
solute transport. In Chapter 2 we analyzed uranium transport in natural sediment using the...
