Abstract

In this study, random flow field in a nonstationary porous formation is characterized through cross covariances of the velocity with the log conductivity and the head. The hydraulic head and the velocity in saturated aquifers are found through stochastic analysis of a steady, two-dimensional flow field without recharge. Expression for these cross covariances are obtained in quasi-analytic forms all in terms of the parameters which characterize the nonstationary conductivity field and the average head gradient. The cross covariances with a Gaussian correlation function for the log conductivity are presented for two particular cases where the trend is either parallel or perpendicular to the mean head gradient and for separation distances along and across the mean flow direction. The results may be of particular importance in transport predictions and conditioning on field measurements when the log conductivity field is suspected to be nonstationary and also serve as a benchmark for testing nonstationary numerical codes. Keywords : cross covariance, nonstationary conductivity field, saturated aquifer, stochastic analysis.

본 논문에서는 다공성 매질의 투수계수장이 비정체형인 경우 대수투수계수 및 수두와 속도의 교차공분산을 통하여 불규칙한 유동장을 규명하였으며, 포화대수층 내의 속도 및 수도 분포는 유입이 없는 2차원, 정상 유동문제를 추계학적으로 해석하여 구하였다. 이들 교차공분산들은 준 해석적 형태로 나타낼 수 있으며 비정체형 투수장과 수두의 평균 기울기를 나타내는 매개변수들로 표현된다. 투수계수의 상관 함수가 가우스 분포를 가지고 그 경향이 평균 수두 기울기와 평행한 경우와 수직인 두 특수한 경우의 교차공분산을 평균 유동 방향과 같은 방향이거나 수직 방향에 관하여 해석하였다. 이 교차공분산들은 투수계수장이 비정체형인 경우에 물질 이동의 예측 및 현장에서 측정시 conditioning에 유효하게 쓰일 수 있고 비정체형 수치해석 프로그램의 검증에도 활용할 수 있다.
