  • Modeling of unsaturated water flow in highly heterogeneous soils.

    Publication

    - Year 2004

    Tematem pracy jest modelowanie przepływu wody w gruntach nienasyconych o podwójnej porowatości, które charakteryzują się obecnością dwóch podobszarów porowatych o skontrastowanych parametrach hydraulicznych. Jako punkt wyjścia przyjęto, że w skali lokalnej przepływ w obu podobszarach jest opisany równaniem Richardsa. Przedstawiono wyprowadzenie dwóch modeli przepływu w skali makroskopowej przy użyciu metody homogenizacji asymptotycznej....

  • Experimental and Numerical Analysis of Air Trapping in a Porous Medium with Coarse Textured Inclusions

    Publication

    - Acta Geophysica - Year 2016

    The paper presents a 2D upward infiltration experiment performed on a model porous medium consisting of fine sand background with two inclusions made of coarser sands. The purpose of the experiment was to investigate the effects of structural air trapping, which occurs during infiltration as a result of heterogeneous material structure. The experiment shows that a significant amount of air becomes trapped in each of the inclusions. Numerical...

  • Numerical Analysis of Recharge Rates and Contaminant Travel Time in Layered Unsaturated Soils

    Publication

    This study focused on the estimation of groundwater recharge rates and travel time of conservative contaminants between ground surface and aquifer. Numerical simulations of transient water flow and solute transport were performed using the SWAP computer program for 10 layered soil profiles, composed of materials ranging from gravel to clay. In particular, sensitivity of the results to the thickness and position of weakly permeable...
