In this work we examine the dispersion of conservative tracers (bromide and fluorescein) in an experimentally constructed three-dimensional dual-porosity porous medium, and in the absence of adjustable parameters. The medium is highly heterogeneous (σ2 Y = 5.7), and consists of spherical, low-hydraulic-conductivity inclusions embedded in a high-hydraulic-conductivity matrix. The bi-modal...
There is growing recognition of the importance of engaging postsecondary students in experiences that can heighten their ability to solve complex socio-scientific problems. Transdisciplinary experiences are required to integrate and synthesize knowledge, skills, and ways of thinking across typical disciplinary boundaries reflected in higher education institutions. Creating transdisciplinary student experiences,...
