The newly developed Fractional Advection-Dispersion Equation (FADE), which is FADE was extended and used in this paper for modelling adsorbing contaminant transport by adding an adsorbing term. A parameter estimation method and its corresponding FORTRAN based program named FADEMain were developed on the basis of Nonlinear Least Square Algorithm and the analytical solution for one-dimensional FADE under the conditions of step input and steady state flow. Data sets of adsorbing contaminants Cd and NH4+-N transport in short homogeneous soil columns and conservative solute NaCI transport in a long homogeneous soil column, respectively were used to estimate the transport parameters both by FADEMain and the advection-dispersion equation (ADE) based program CXTFIT2.1. Results indicated that the concentration simulated by FADE agreed well with the measured data. Compared to the ADE model, FADE can provide better simulation for the concentration in the initial lower concentration part and the late higher concentration part of the breakthrough curves for both adsorbing contaminants. The dispersion coefficients for ADE were from 0.13 to 7.06 cm2/min, while the dispersion coefficients for FADE ranged from 0.119 to 3.05 cm1.856/min for NaCI transport in the long homogeneous soil column. We found that the dispersion coefficient of FADE increased with the transport distance, and the relationship between them can be quantified with an exponential function. Less scale-dependent was also found for the dispersion coefficient of FADE with respect to ADE. 相似文献

A Eulerian analytical method is developed for nonreactive solute transport in heterogeneous, dual-permeability media where the hydraulic conductivities in fracture and matrix domains are both assumed to be stochastic processes. The analytical solution for the mean concentration is given explicitly in Fourier and Laplace transforms. Instead of using the fast fourier transform method to numerically invert the solution to real space (Hu et al., 2002), we apply the general relationship between spatial moments and concentration (Naff, 1990; Hu et al., 1997) to obtain the analytical solutions for the spatial moments up to the second for a pulse input of the solute. Owing to its accuracy and efficiency, the analytical method can be used to check the semi-analytical and Monte Carlo numerical methods before they are applied to more complicated studies. The analytical method can be also used during screening studies to identify the most significant transport parameters for further analysis. In this study, the analytical results have been compared with those obtained from the semi-analytical method (Hu et al., 2002) and the comparison shows that the semi-analytical method is robust. It is clearly shown from the analytical solution that the three factors, local dispersion, conductivity variation in each domain and velocity convection flow difference in the two domains, play different roles on the solute plume spreading in longitudinal and transverse directions. The calculation results also indicate that when the log-conductivity variance in matrix is 10 times less than its counterpart in fractures, it will hardly influence the solute transport, whether the conductivity field is matrix is treated as a homogeneous or random field. 相似文献

Analytical solutions for the water flow and solute transport equations in the unsaturated zone are presented. We use the Broadbridge and White nonlinear model to solve the Richards’ equation for vertical flow under a constant infiltration rate. Then we extend the water flow solution and develop an exact parametric solution for the advection-dispersion equation. The method of characteristics is adopted to determine the location of a solute front in the unsaturated zone. The dispersion component is incorporated into the final solution using a singular perturbation method. The formulation of the analytical solutions is simple, and a complete solution is generated without resorting to computationally demanding numerical schemes. Indeed, the simple analytical solutions can be used as tools to verify the accuracy of numerical models of water flow and solute transport. Comparison with a finite-element numerical solution indicates that a good match for the predicted water content is achieved when the mesh grid is one-fourth the capillary length scale of the porous medium. However, when numerically solving the solute transport equation at this level of discretization, numerical dispersion and spatial oscillations were significant. 相似文献

Hydraulic conductivity distribution and plume initial source condition are two important factors affecting solute transport
in heterogeneous media. Since hydraulic conductivity can only be measured at limited locations in a field, its spatial distribution
in a complex heterogeneous medium is generally uncertain. In many groundwater contamination sites, transport initial conditions
are generally unknown, as plume distributions are available only after the contaminations occurred. In this study, a data
assimilation method is developed for calibrating a hydraulic conductivity field and improving solute transport prediction
with unknown initial solute source condition. Ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) is used to update the model parameter (i.e., hydraulic
conductivity) and state variables (hydraulic head and solute concentration), when data are available. Two-dimensional numerical
experiments are designed to assess the performance of the EnKF method on data assimilation for solute transport prediction.
The study results indicate that the EnKF method can significantly improve the estimation of the hydraulic conductivity distribution
and solute transport prediction by assimilating hydraulic head measurements with a known solute initial condition. When solute
source is unknown, solute prediction by assimilating continuous measurements of solute concentration at a few points in the
plume well captures the plume evolution downstream of the measurement points. 相似文献

In this article we consider the transport of an adsorbing solute in a two-region model of a chemically and mechanically heterogeneous porous medium when the condition of large-scale mechanical equilibrium is valid. Under these circumstances, a one-equation model can be used to predict the large-scale averaged velocity, but a two-equation model may be required to predict the regional velocities that are needed to accurately describe the solute transport process. If the condition of large-scale mass equilibrium is valid, the solute transport process can be represented in terms of a one-equation model and the analysis is simplified greatly. The constraints associated with the condition of large-scale mass equilibrium are developed, and when these constraints are satisfied the mass transport process can be described in terms of the large-scale average velocity, an average adsorption isotherm, and a single large-scale dispersion tensor. When the condition of large-scale mass equilibrium is not valid, two equations are required to describe the mass transfer process, and these two equations contain two adsorption isotherms, two dispersion tensors, and an exchange coefficient. The extension of the analysis to multi-region models is straight forward but tedious. 相似文献

With growing importance of water resources in the world, remediations of anthropogenic contaminations due to reactive solute transport become even more important. A good understanding of reactive rate parameters such as kinetic parameters is the key to accurately predicting reactive solute transport processes and designing corresponding remediation schemes. For modeling reactive solute transport, it is very difficult to estimate chemical reaction rate parameters due to complex processes of chemical reactions and limited available data. To find a method to get the reactive rate parameters for the reactive urea hydrolysis transport modeling and obtain more accurate prediction for the chemical concentrations, we developed a data assimilation method based on an ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) method to calibrate reactive rate parameters for modeling urea hydrolysis transport in a synthetic one-dimensional column at laboratory scale and to update modeling prediction. We applied a constrained EnKF method to pose constraints to the updated reactive rate parameters and the predicted solute concentrations based on their physical meanings after the data assimilation calibration. From the study results we concluded that we could efficiently improve the chemical reactive rate parameters with the data assimilation method via the EnKF, and at the same time we could improve solute concentration prediction. The more data we assimilated, the more accurate the reactive rate parameters and concentration prediction. The filter divergence problem was also solved in this study. 相似文献

It is evident that the hydrodynamic dispersion coefficient and linear flow velocity dominate solute transport in aquifers.
Both of them play important roles characterizing contaminant transport. However, by definition, the parameter of contaminant
transport cannot be measured directly. For most problems of contaminant transport, a conceptual model for solute transport
generally is established to fit the breakthrough curve obtained from field testing, and then suitable curve matching or the
inverse solution of a theoretical model is used to determine the parameter. This study presents a one-dimensional solute transport
problem for slug injection. Differential analysis is used to analyze uncertainty propagation, which is described by the variance
and mean. The uncertainties of linear velocity and hydrodynamic dispersion coefficient are, respectively, characterized by
the second-power and fourth-power of the length scale multiplied by a lumped relationship of variance and covariance of system
parameters, i.e. the Peclet number and arrival time of maximum concentration. To validate the applicability for evaluating
variance propagation in one-dimensional solute transport, two cases using field data are presented to demonstrate how parametric
uncertainty can be caught depending on the manner of sampling. 相似文献

As is frequently cited, dispersivity increases with solute travel distance in the subsurface. This behaviour has been attributed to the inherent spatial variation of the pore water velocity in geological porous media. Analytically solving the advection–dispersion equation with distance-dependent dispersivity is extremely difficult because the governing equation coefficients are dependent upon the distance variable. This study presents an analytical technique to solve a two-dimensional (2D) advection–dispersion equation with linear distance-dependent longitudinal and transverse dispersivities for describing solute transport in a uniform flow field. The analytical approach is developed by applying the extended power series method coupled with the Laplace and finite Fourier cosine transforms. The developed solution is then compared to the corresponding numerical solution to assess its accuracy and robustness. The results demonstrate that the breakthrough curves at different spatial locations obtained from the power series solution show good agreement with those obtained from the numerical solution. However, owing to the limited numerical operation for large values of the power series functions, the developed analytical solution can only be numerically evaluated when the values of longitudinal dispersivity/distance ratio eL exceed 0·075. Moreover, breakthrough curves obtained from the distance-dependent solution are compared with those from the constant dispersivity solution to investigate the relationship between the transport parameters. Our numerical experiments demonstrate that a previously derived relationship is invalid for large eL values. The analytical power series solution derived in this study is efficient and can be a useful tool for future studies in the field of 2D and distance-dependent dispersive transport.

Using a steady-state mass conservative solute transport analytical solution that is based on the third-type (or flux-type or Cauchy) source condition, a method is developed to estimate the degradation parameters of solutes in groundwater. Then, the inadequacy of the methods based on the first-type source-based analytical solute transport solution is presented both theoretically and through an example. It is shown that the third-type source analytical solution exactly satisfies the mass balance constraint at the inlet location. It is also shown that the first-type source (or constant source concentration or Dirichlet) solution fails to satisfy the mass balance constraint at the inlet location and the degree of the failure depends on the value of the degradation as well as the flow and solute transport parameters. The error in the first-type source solution is determined with dimensionless parameters by comparing its results with the third-type source solution. Methods for estimating the degradation parameter values that are based on the first-type steady-state solute transport solution may significantly overestimate the degradation parameter values depending on the values of flow and solute transport parameters. It is recommended that the third-type source solution be used in estimating degradation parameters using measured concentrations instead of the first-type source solution. 相似文献

A solution conduit has a permeable wall allowing for water exchange and solute transfer between the conduit and its surrounding aquifer matrix. In this paper, we use Laplace Transform to solve a one‐dimensional equation constructed using the Euler approach to describe advective transport of solute in a conduit, a production‐value problem. Both nonuniform cross‐section of the conduit and nonuniform seepage at the conduit wall are considered in the solution. Physical analysis using the Lagrangian approach and a lumping method is performed to verify the solution. Two‐way transfer between conduit water and matrix water is also investigated by using the solution for the production‐value problem as a first‐order approximation. The approximate solution agrees well with the exact solution if dimensionless travel time in the conduit is an order of magnitude smaller than unity. Our analytical solution is based on the assumption that the spatial and/or temporal heterogeneity in the wall solute flux is the dominant factor in the spreading of spring‐breakthrough curves, and conduit dispersion is only a secondary mechanism. Such an approach can lead to the better understanding of water exchange and solute transfer between conduits and aquifer matrix. Highlights:

A new modeling approach for solute transport in streams and canals was developed to simulate solute dissolution, transport, and decay with continuously migrating sources. The new approach can efficiently handle complicated solute source feeding schemes and initial conditions. Incorporating the finite volume method (FVM) and the ULTIMATE QUICKEST numerical scheme, the new approach is capable of predicting fate and transport of solute that is added to small streams or canals, typically in a continuous fashion. The approach was tested successfully using a hypothetical case, and then applied to an actual field experiment, where linear anionic polyacrylamide (LA-PAM) was applied to an earthen canal. The field experiment was simulated first as a fixed boundary problem using measured concentration data as the boundary condition to test model parameters and sensitivities. The approach was then applied to a moving boundary problem, which included subsequent LA-PAM dissolution, settling to the canal bottom and transport with the flowing canal water. Simulation results showed that the modeling approach developed in this study performed satisfactorily and can be used to simulate a variety of transport problems in streams and canals. 相似文献

The geochemical computer model PHREEQC can simulate solute transport in fractured bedrock aquifers that can be conceptualized as dual-porosity flow systems subject to one-dimensional advective-dispersive transport in the bedrock fractures and diffusive transport in the bedrock matrix. This article demonstrates how the physical characteristics of such flow systems can be parameterized for use in PHREEQC, it provides a method for minimizing numerical dispersion in PHREEQC simulations, and it compares PHREEQC simulations with results of an analytical solution. The simulations assumed a dual-porosity conceptual model involving advective-reactive-dispersive transport in the mobile zone (bedrock fracture) and diffusive-reactive transport in the immobile zone (bedrock matrix). The results from the PHREEQC dual-porosity transport model that uses a finite-difference approach showed excellent agreement compared with an analytical solution. 相似文献

We analyze the impact of conditioning to measurements of hydraulic transmissivity on the transport of a conservative solute. The effects of conditioning on solute transport are widely discussed in the literature, but most of the published works focuses on the reduction of the uncertainty in the prediction of the plume dispersion. In this study both ensemble and effective plume moments are considered for an instantaneous release of a solute through a linear source normal to the mean flow direction, by taking into account different sizes of the source. The analysis, involving a steady and spatially inhomogeneous velocity field, is developed by using the stochastic finite element method. Results show that conditioning reduces the ensemble moment in comparison with the unconditioned case, whereas the effective dispersion may increase because of the contribution of the spatial moments related to the lack of stationarity in the flow field. As the number of conditioning points increases, this effect increases and it is significant in both the longitudinal and transverse directions. Furthermore, we conclude that the moment derived from data collected in the field can be assessed by the conditioned second-order spatial moment only with a dense grid of measured data, and it is manifest for larger initial lengths of the plume. Nevertheless, it seems very likely that the actual dispersion of the plume may be underestimated in practical applications. 相似文献

An empirical hyperbolic scale-dependent dispersion model, which predicts a linear growth of dispersivity close to the origin and the attainment of an asymptotic dispersivity at large distances, is presented for deterministic modelling of field-scale solute transport and the analysis of solute transport experiments. A simple relationship is derived between local dispersivity, which is used in numerical simulations of solute transport, and effective dispersivity, which is estimated from the analysis of tracer breakthrough curves. The scale-dependent dispersion model is used to interpret a field tracer experiment by nonlinear least-squares inversion of a numerical solution for unsaturated transport. Simultaneous inversion of concentration-time data from several sampling locations indicates a linear growth of the dispersion process over the scale of the experiment. These findings are consistent with the results of an earlier analysis based on the use of a constant dispersion coefficient model at each of the sampling depths. 相似文献

Impact of Local Groundwater Flow Model Errors on Transport and a Practical Solution for the Issue 
下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 A groundwater flow model is typically used to provide the flow field for conducting groundwater solute transport simulations. The advection term of the mass conserved formulation for groundwater transport assumes that the flow field is perfectly balanced and that all water flowing into a numerical grid cell is exactly balanced by outflows after accounting for sources/sinks or internal storage. However, in many complicated regional or site‐scale models, there may be localized flow balance errors that may be difficult to eliminate through tighter flow convergence tolerances due to simulation time constraints or numerical limits on convergence tolerances. Thus, if water is erroneously gained or lost within a grid cell during the flow computation, the solutes within it will also be numerically affected in the associated transport simulation. Transport solutions neglect this error in groundwater flow as the transport equations that are solved assume no error in flow. This flow imbalance error can however have consequences on the transport solution ranging from unnoticeable errors in the resulting concentrations to spurious oscillations that can grow in time and hinder further solution. An approach has been suggested here, to explicitly handle these flow imbalances during mass conserved advective transport computations and report them in the corresponding transport mass balance output, as corrections that are needed to handle errors originating in the flow solution. Example problems are provided to explain the concepts and demonstrate the impacts. 相似文献

The unconditional stochastic studies on groundwater flow and solute transport in a nonstationary conductivity field show that
the standard deviations of the hydraulic head and solute flux are very large in comparison with their mean values (Zhang et al.
in Water Resour Res 36:2107–2120, 2000; Wu et al. in J Hydrol 275:208–228, 2003; Hu et al. in Adv Water Resour 26:513–531, 2003). In this study, we develop a numerical method of moments conditioning on measurements of hydraulic conductivity and head
to reduce the variances of the head and the solute flux. A Lagrangian perturbation method is applied to develop the framework
for solute transport in a nonstationary flow field. Since analytically derived moments equations are too complicated to solve
analytically, a numerical finite difference method is implemented to obtain the solutions. Instead of using an unconditional
conductivity field as an input to calculate groundwater velocity, we combine a geostatistical method and a method of moment
for flow to conditionally simulate the distributions of head and velocity based on the measurements of hydraulic conductivity
and head at some points. The developed theory is applied in several case studies to investigate the influences of the measurements
of hydraulic conductivity and/or the hydraulic head on the variances of the predictive head and the solute flux in nonstationary
flow fields. The study results show that the conditional calculation will significantly reduce the head variance. Since the
hydraulic head measurement points are treated as the interior boundary (Dirichlet boundary) conditions, conditioning on both
the hydraulic conductivity and the head measurements is much better than conditioning only on conductivity measurements for
reduction of head variance. However, for solute flux, variance reduction by the conditional study is not so significant. 相似文献
