Title: Physical barriers formed from gelling liquids: 1. numerical design of laboratory and field experiments

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/432812· OSTI ID:432812

The emplacement of liquids under controlled viscosity conditions is investigated by means of numerical simulations. Design calculations are performed for a laboratory experiment on a decimeter scale, and a field experiment on a meter scale. The purpose of the laboratory experiment is to study the behavior of multiple gout plumes when injected in a porous medium. The calculations for the field trial aim at designing a grout injection test from a vertical well in order to create a grout plume of a significant extent in the subsurface.
