  • Flow and transport at fracture intersections, and their effects on network scale transport, are investigated in three-dimensional random fracture networks. Fracture intersection mixing rules complete mixing and streamline routing are defined in terms of fluxes normal to the intersection line between two fractures. By analyzing flow statistics and particle transfer probabilities distributed along fracture intersections, it is shown that for various network structures with power law size distributions of fractures, the choice of intersection mixing rule makes comparatively little difference in the overall simulated solute migration patterns. The occurrence and effects of local flows around an intersection (local flow cells) are emphasized. Transport simulations at fracture intersections indicate that local flow circulations can arise from variability within the hydraulic head distribution along intersections, and from the internal no flow condition along fracture boundaries. These local flow cells act as an effective mechanism to enhance the nondiffusive breakthrough tailing often observed in discrete fracture networks. It is shown that such non-Fickian (anomalous) solute transport can be accounted for by considering only advective transport, in the framework of a continuous time random walk model. To clarify the effect of forest environmental changes (forest type difference and clearcut) on water storage capacity in soil and stream flow, watershed had been investigated.

  • We systematically analyze the influence of fracture junction, solute transfer characteristics on transport patterns in discrete, two-dimensional fracture network models. Regular lattices and random fracture networks with power-law length distributions are considered in conjunction with particle tracking methods. Solute transfer probabilities at fracture junctions are determined from analytical considerations and from simple complete mixing and streamline routing models. For regular fracture networks, mixing conditions at fracture junctions are always dominated by either complete mixing or streamline routing end member cases. Moreover bulk transport properties such as the spreading and the dilution of solute are highly sensitive to the mixing rule. However in power-law length networks there is no significant difference in bulk transport properties, as calculated by assuming either of the two extreme mixing rules. This apparent discrepancy between the effects of mixing properties at fracture junctions in regular and random fracture networks is explained by the statistics of the coordination number and of the flow conditions at fracture intersections. We suggest that the influence of mixing rules on bulk solute transport could be important in systematic orthogonal fracture networks but insignificant in random networks.

  • 오염물질의 거동은 간극 배열과 연결망에 의해 결정되지만 흙에서 오염물질의 이동을 계산하는 전통적인 접근은 거시 스케일에서 적용된다. 나비에-스토크스 방정식을 풀기 위해 소요되는 컴퓨팅 비용 때문에 간극 스케일에서 이동과 결과를 관찰하기 쉽지 않다. 본 논문에서는 단일상 다성분 유체유동에서 국부적인 유속과 밀도를 효과적으로 평가할 수 있는 격자 볼츠만 방법에 대해 설명한다. 오염물질의 시공간적 거동은 유체 유동의 이송에 의해 명시적으로 결정된다. 두 가지 형태의 이상화된 간극은 유체의 경로를 제공한다. 또한 오염물질 이동, 유속장, 오염물질의 평균 농도는 정상상태의 유동에서 계산된다. 굴곡비와 같은 간극 형상은 오염물질 거동의 영향을 준다. 이는 흙이나 암반의 불연속면에서 동일한 간극률를 가져도 간극의 배열과 형상의 중요함을 강조한다.

  • A new finite difference model is developed for solute transport in a fractured medium that can consider advection, adsorption, first-order decay, and scale-dependent dispersivity of individual fractures. In the model, the dispersivity of individual fractures is employed as a variable increasing with travel distance from a source. The model is verified using an analytical solution for a single fracture. A solution from the new model is independent of the outlet boundary condition of fractures, and has little numerical dispersion error.
