Aim: (1) to obtain an in-depth understanding of flow and transport processes in the unsaturated zone and in groundwater
(2) to become acquainted with laboratory techniques for measuring hydraulic parameters and for flow investigations
(3) to obtain a physical understanding of multiphase flow phenomena in porous media
(4) to develop and apply numerical models |
| Contents: Groundwater flow and transport in relation to geological anisotropy and heterogeneity, geostatistics, fracture flow, density dependent flow, reactive transport. Non-steady flow in the unsaturated zone, pameterisation and heterogeneity of soil physical parameteres, solute transport. Multiphase flow in porous media (water-air, water-oil, water-oil-air), capillary pressure and relative permeability curves, flow and remediation of light and dense organic fluids. Flow, transport and diffusion in air, air venting, air sparging, and steam injection for in-situ remediation of organic contamination. |
