Title: THE MIGRATION AND ENTRAPMENT OF DNAPLS IN PHYSICALLY AND CHEMICALLY HETEROGENEOUS POROUS MEDIA

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/827041· OSTI ID:827041

This document summarizes EMSP funded research designed to improve our understanding of and ability to simulate the influence of subsurface chemical heterogeneities on DNAPL flow and entrapment in the saturated zone. Specific project objectives include: (i) the quantification of DNAPL interfacial and hydraulic properties; (ii) development and assessment of constitutive hydraulic property and continuum based multiphase flow models; (iii) exploration of DNAPL migration and entrapment in heterogeneous systems at larger scales; and (iv) development of innovative remediation schemes.
