Aim: (1) to become acquanted with laboratory techniques for identification of hydraulic parameters and for flow investigations
(2) to obtain a physical understanding of multiphase flow in porous media including water flow in the unsaturated zone, air flow and immiscible flow of hydrocarbons in the unsaturated zone and in the groundwater zone
(3) to develop and apply numerical models for multiphase flow
(4) to apply numerical models for design of remediation schemes |
| Contents: Water flow in the unsaturated zone, capillarity and retention, unsaturated hydraulic conductivity,transport and dispersion of solutes, governing partial differential equations. Two-phase flow in porous media (air-water, oil-water). Three-phase flow in soil and groundwater (air, oil, water), capillary pressure curves, relative permeability curves, residual saturations, heterogeneity, numerical models. Flow and remediation of light and heavy organic fluids.Flow, transport and diffusion in the air phase. Air venting, air sparging, and steam injection for in-situ remediation of organic contamination. |
| Remarks: The course gives a futher specializtion in the flow processes of water, air and organic fluids in soil and groundwater and remediation techniques. |
