Connecting the molecular scale to the continuum scale for diffusion processes in smectite-rich porous media

Journal Article Bourg, I C ; Sposito, G - Environmental Science and Technology

In this paper, we address the manner in which the continuum-scale diffusive properties of smectite-rich porous media arise from their molecular- and pore-scale features. Our starting point is a successful model of the continuum-scale apparent diffusion coefficient for water tracers and cations which decomposes it as a sum of pore-scale terms describing diffusion in macropore and interlayer 'compartments.' We then apply molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to determine molecular-scale diffusion coefficients D{sub interlayer} of water tracers and representative cations (Na{sup +}, Cs{sup +}, Sr{sup 2+}) in Na-smectite interlayers. We find that a remarkably simple expression relates D{sub interlayer} to the pore-scalemore »« less

A hybrid pore‐scale and continuum‐scale model for solute diffusion, reaction, and biofilm development in porous media

Journal Article Tang, Youneng ; Valocchi, Albert J. ; Werth, Charles J. - Water Resources Research

Abstract It is a challenge to upscale solute transport in porous media for multispecies bio‐kinetic reactions because of incomplete mixing within the elementary volume and because biofilm growth can change porosity and affect pore‐scale flow and diffusion. To address this challenge, we present a hybrid model that couples pore‐scale subdomains to continuum‐scale subdomains. While the pore‐scale subdomains involving significant biofilm growth and reaction are simulated using pore‐scale equations, the other subdomains are simulated using continuum‐scale equations to save computational time. The pore‐scale and continuum‐scale subdomains are coupled using a mortar method to ensure continuity of solute concentration and flux atmore »« less

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of the Adsorption of Phthalate Esters on Smectite Clay Surfaces

Journal Article Willemsen, Jennifer A. R. ; Myneni, Satish C. B. ; Bourg, Ian C. - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

The partitioning of organic contaminants between water and solid surfaces is a key process controlling their fate and transport in natural environments. A novel methodology was developed to predict the adsorption of organic contaminants by smectite clay minerals (high specific surface area adsorbents abundant in natural soils) using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The methodology models a stack of flexible Ca- montmorillonite lamellae in direct contact with a bulk aqueous reservoir and uses the metadynamics technique to facilitate the exploration of the free energy landscape. The methodology was tested and validated in the case of six phthalate esters, widely used chemicalmore »« less

Large-Scale Molecular Dynamics Simulation of the Dehydration of a Suspension of Smectite Clay Nanoparticles

Journal Article Underwood, Thomas R. ; Bourg, Ian C. - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

Fine-grained sediments and sedimentary rocks play important roles in a variety of modern energy technologies from petroleum geology to geological carbon sequestration and radioactive waste management. However, despite their utility and ubiquity, many of their properties remain poorly understood. In particular, the ability to predict the permeability and mechanics of these media remains a persistent fundamental challenge in the geosciences. In the present work, we show how large-scale classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations can help interpret the properties of fine-grained sedimentary material. All-atom simulations containing 30 discrete clay particles are utilized to understand the evolution of a clay nanoparticle suspensionmore »« less
