This book was released on 2001-05-21 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluid flow and solute transport within the vadose zone, the unsaturated zone between the land surface and the water table, can be the cause of expanded plumes arising from localized contaminant sources. An understanding of vadose zone processes is, therefore, an essential prerequisite for cost-effective contaminant remediation efforts. In addition, because such features are potential avenues for rapid transport of chemicals from contamination sources to the water table, the presence of fractures and other channel-like openings in the vadose zone poses a particularly significant problem, Conceptual Models of Flow and Transport in the Fractured Vadose Zone is based on the work of a panel established under the auspices of the U.S. National Committee for Rock Mechanics. It emphasizes the importance of conceptual models and goes on to review the conceptual model development, testing, and refinement processes. The book examines fluid flow and transport mechanisms, noting the difficulty of modeling solute transport, and identifies geochemical and environmental tracer data as important components of the modeling process. Finally, the book recommends several areas for continued research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific understanding of fluid flow in rock fracturesâ€"a process underlying contemporary earth science problems from the search for petroleum to the controversy over nuclear waste storageâ€"has grown significantly in the past 20 years. This volume presents a comprehensive report on the state of the field, with an interdisciplinary viewpoint, case studies of fracture sites, illustrations, conclusions, and research recommendations. The book addresses these questions: How can fractures that are significant hydraulic conductors be identified, located, and characterized? How do flow and transport occur in fracture systems? How can changes in fracture systems be predicted and controlled? Among other topics, the committee provides a geomechanical understanding of fracture formation, reviews methods for detecting subsurface fractures, and looks at the use of hydraulic and tracer tests to investigate fluid flow. The volume examines the state of conceptual and mathematical modeling, and it provides a useful framework for understanding the complexity of fracture changes that occur during fluid pumping and other engineering practices. With a practical and multidisciplinary outlook, this volume will be welcomed by geologists, petroleum geologists, geoengineers, geophysicists, hydrologists, researchers, educators and students in these fields, and public officials involved in geological projects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper summarizes code development work and sample calculations for FRACNET, a two-dimensional steady state simulator of fluid flow and solute transport in fractured porous media. The model analyzes flow and transport by generating a fracture network based on statistical characteristics of fractures obtained from well logs and other data. After a network is generated, flow and tracer transport are computed for appropriate boundary conditions and wellbore source/sink terms. In addition, for a given realization, the code can be used to indicate whether the medium can be treated as an equivalent porous medium. 18 refs., 7 figs.

This book was released on 2011-05-09 with total page 635 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this standard reference of the field, theoretical and experimental approaches to flow, hydrodynamic dispersion, and miscible displacements in porous media and fractured rock are considered. Two different approaches are discussed and contrasted with each other. The first approach is based on the classical equations of flow and transport, called 'continuum models'. The second approach is based on modern methods of statistical physics of disordered media; that is, on 'discrete models', which have become increasingly popular over the past 15 years. The book is unique in its scope, since (1) there is currently no book that compares the two approaches, and covers all important aspects of porous media problems; and (2) includes discussion of fractured rocks, which so far has been treated as a separate subject. Portions of the book would be suitable for an advanced undergraduate course. The book will be ideal for graduate courses on the subject, and can be used by chemical, petroleum, civil, environmental engineers, and geologists, as well as physicists, applied physicist and allied scientists that deal with various porous media problems.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report describes a stochastic discrete fracture (SDF) modelling package that simulates ground-water flow and mass transport in fracture systems. The program NETWRK generates two-dimensional fracture networks with a Monte Carlo method based on the statistics of field data on fracture geometry, i.e., fracture orientation, trace length, aperture, and density. The program APEGEN can be used to generate supplementary aperture distributions for the fracture network generated by NETWRK. A third program, NETFLO, computes the steady-state fluid flow through the fracture network generated by NETWRK and APEGEN. NETFLO also computes the statistic s of selected parameters in every ten-degree range of direction, including the total length of fracture segments, the total flow velocity, and the total flow rate. The latter directional parameters are used by the program NETRANS to compute the transit time of particles over an arbitrary distance using a second-level stochastic process"--Abstract, p. vi.

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis focuses on the effective hydraulic transmissivity of two-dimensional fracture networks in rocks. The main simulation tool used in this work is the discrete fracture network code NAPSAC. There are four main topics in this thesis: (1) estimating permeability from network properties, (2) comparing discrete fracture network with effective continuum models, (3) using DFN for hydro-mechanical coupled modelling, and (4) solute transport simulations. For fracture networks with uniform aperture, the permeability can be estimated using segment density, fracture density, and fracture lengths of the fracture network. For fracture networks with apertures directly proportional to their lengths, the individual conductance of each of the fracture segments was used to calculate an effective conductance for the whole network. The arithmetic mean of the segment conductance gives a good approximation for the effective conductance of the whole network. A series of effective continuum models of a fracture network were created using different element sizes, and their flow behaviours were compared against results obtained from discrete fracture network model. The permeability tensors of each of the elements in the effective continuum meshes were calculated using discrete fracture network methods. It was found that the flow through effective continuum model with any element size gave good agreement with the discrete fracture network results. Hydro-mechanical coupled simulations were carried out using NAPSAC, where the applied far field stresses are applied to each fractures independently. Simulations were then carried out using the distinct element code UDEC to justify the simplified physics used in NAPSAC. It was shown that for random 2D fracture networks under a range of loadings, NAPSAC and UDEC seem to predict similar overall flows. Different ways for modelling the effects of rock matrix diffusion were explored. The significance of rock matrix diffusion, as well as the diffusion distance, was linked to the magnitude of the pressure gradient across the fracture network. A semi-analytical method for estimating the diffusion distance was proposed: using the perimeter and the area of each of the matrix blocks, it is possible to estimate the diffusion distance using the 'shape factor' concept.
