Aquifer characteristics influence in transport processes [articol]

Abstract

The paper has sought an analysis of porosity and hydraulic conductivity on flow and transport phenomena in porous media and simulations were conducted which showed the influence of these characteristics. Simulation computer program was used ASMWIN and method was the finite difference solution. The paper highlights that the hydrogeological properties, such as hydraulic conductivity or porosity, are summarized, despite the fact that it has a high degree of spatial variability at multiple length scales. Heterogeneous leads to uncertainty about property values aquifers and therefore the uncertainty in estimates of groundwater flow and the distribution of pollutants.
