Flow and Transport in Porous Media and Fractured Rock: From Classical Methods to Modern Approaches

During this common reference of the sector, theoretical and experimental techniques to movement, hydrodynamic dispersion, and miscible displacements in porous media and fractured rock are thought of. diverse ways are mentioned and contrasted with one another. the 1st technique relies at the classical equations of move and delivery, known as 'continuum models'.

The pattern of activity is very similar to that found by Scholz. However, the sensitivity of the apparatus for pulse-height analysis was less than in SCHOLZ'S [3] experiments.

Except for the two at room temperature, like symbols indicate measurements made with the same sample. The open symbol denotes b for presliding emissions and the closed symbol denotes b for stable sliding emissions. The two measurements at 25°C are from SCHOLZ [3]. The vertical error bar has been visually estimated from plots such as in Fig.
