Role of the clay lenses within sandy aquifers in the migration pathway of infiltrating DNAPL plume: A numerical investigation [PDF]
The use of numerical based multi-phase fluid flow simulation can significantly aid in the development of an effective remediation strategy for groundwater systems contaminated with Dense Non Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL). Incorporating the lithological heterogeneities of the aquifer into the model domain is a crucial aspect in the development of robust ...

Dispersion of a fluid plume during radial injection in an aquifer [PDF]
This study outlines a model for injected fluid flow in a vertically confined porous aquifer with mechanical dispersion. Existing studies have investigated the behaviour and geometry of immiscible fluid flow in this setting, where the injected fluid displaces the resident fluid, forming a sharp interface between the two.

Groundwater age, life expectancy and transit time distributions in advective-dispersive systems: 1. Generalized reservoir theory [PDF]
We present a methodology for determining reservoir groundwater age and transit time probability distributions in a deterministic manner, considering advective-dispersive transport in steady velocity fields. In a first step, we propose to model the statistical distribution of groundwater age at aquifer scale by means of the classical advection ...

Unconfined Aquifer Flow Theory - from Dupuit to present [PDF]
Analytic and semi-analytic solution are often used by researchers and practicioners to estimate aquifer parameters from unconfined aquifer pumping tests. The non-linearities associated with unconfined (i.e., water table) aquifer tests makes their analysis more complex than confined tests.

Tidal response of groundwater in a leaky aquifer: application to Oklahoma [PDF]
Quantitative interpretation of the tidal response of water levels measured in wells has long been made either with a model for perfectly confined aquifers or with a model for purely unconfined aquifers. However, many aquifers may be neither totally confined nor purely unconfined at the frequencies of tidal loading but behave somewhere between the two ...

When Do Complex Transport Dynamics Arise in Natural Groundwater Systems? [PDF]
In a recent paper (Trefry et al., 2019) we showed that the interplay of aquifer heterogeneity and poroelasticity can produce complex transport in tidally forced aquifers, with significant implications for solute transport, mixing and reaction. However, what was unknown was how broadly these transport dynamics can arise in natural groundwater systems ...

Metabolic Diversity and Aero-Tolerance in Anammox Bacteria from Geochemically Distinct Aquifers
Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is important for converting bioavailable nitrogen into dinitrogen gas, particularly in carbon-poor environments.

Numerical Simulation Study of the Upper Aquifer Impact on the Coalbed Methane Production
The coalbed methane (CBM) resources in the Qinshui Basin are abundant with exceptional production potential. Coalbed methane wells usually need to be hydraulically fractured to build economical production.
