Title: Liquid Spills on Permeable Soil Surfaces: Experimental Confirmations

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/888713· OSTI ID:888713

Predictive tools for assessing the quantity of a spill on a soil from the observed spreading area could contribute to improving remediation when it is necessary. On a permeable soil, the visible spill area only hints about the amount of liquid that might reside below the surface. An understanding of the physical phenomena involved with spill propagation on a soil surface is key to assessing the liquid amount possibly present beneath the surface. The objective of this study is an improved prediction capability for spill behavior.
