  2. 21. Multiphase Contamination in Rock Fractures : Fluid Displacement and Interphase Mass Transfer

    Author : Zhibing Yang; Auli Niemi; Fritjof Fagerlund; Tissa Illangasekare; Insa Neuweiler; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; multiphase flow; dissolution; mass transfer; invasion percolation; immiscible displacement; fractured media; groundwater contamination; non-aqueous phase liquid; curvature; Hydrology; Hydrologi;

    Abstract : Multiphase flow and transport in fractured rock is of importance to many practical and engineering applications. In the field of groundwater hydrology an issue of significant environmental concern is the release of dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) which can cause long-term groundwater contamination in fractured aquifers.

  4. 22. Hydromechanical Behaviour of Fractures Close to Tunnels in Crystalline Rock

    Author : Johan Thörn; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fracture stiffness; Fracture geometry; Laboratory experiments; Äspö HRL; Rock stress; In situ; Deformation measurement; Hallandsås; Hydromechanical coupling; Geological history;

    Abstract : The deformation and stiffness properties of rock fractures are important measurable parameters when describing their hydromechanical behaviour. Deformation refers to aperture change. Stiffness refers to the amount of deformation per stress change to which a fracture is subjected. READ MORE

  5. 23. Solute transport through fractured rocks : the influence of geological heterogeneities and stagnant water zones

    Author : Batoul Mahmoudzadeh; Longcheng Liu; Ivars Neretnieks; David Hodgkinson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : To describe reactive solute transport and retardation through fractured rocks, three models are developed in the study with different focuses on the physical processes involved and different simplifications of the basic building block of the heterogeneous rock domain. The first model evaluates the effects of the heterogeneity of the rock matrix and the stagnant water zones in part of the fracture plane. READ MORE

  6. 24. Multi-scale modeling and finite element simulation of diffusion in porous media

    Author : Nele Pollmann; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydro-Mechanical Coupling; Fractured Rock; Poroelasticity; Three-Phase Concrete; Computational Homogenization;

    Abstract : Porous media comprise a large range of natural and industrial materials and are typically complex on multiple length scales. At lower (micro-scopic) length scales, such media consist of a solid skeleton and fluid-filled pores in between. READ MORE

  7. 25. The Underground as a Storage Facility. Modelling of Nuclear Waste Repositories and Aquifer Thermal Energy Stores

    Author : Thomas Probert; Matematisk fysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; exponential decay; modelling; fractured rock; classical mechanics; quantum mechanics; Mathematical and general theoretical physics; relativity; statistical physics; thermodynamics; Matematisk och allmän teoretisk fysik; klassisk mekanik; relativitet; kvantmekanik; gravitation; statistisk fysik; termodynamik; Environmental technology; pollution control; kontroll av utsläpp; Miljöteknik; conformal flow; heat as a tracer; KBS-3; stress field; temperature field; analytical solution; salt buoyancy; groundwater flow; nuclear waste repository; aquifer thermal energy storage; Fysicumarkivet A:1998:Probert;

    Abstract : The underground is a vast region, which is, too a large extent, unused by man. It has a large potential as a storage facility due to its vastness and availability. This thesis, which consists of eleven papers and reports, deals with nuclear waste repositories in solid rock and with aquifer thermal energy storage systems. READ MORE
