We applied the modified invasion percolation (MIP) model to the migration of DNAPL within a two-dimensional random fracture network. The MIP model was verified against laboratory experiments, which was conducted using a two-dimensional random fracture network model. The results showed that the MIP needs modification. To remove TCE trapped in a random fracture network, the density-surfactant-motivated removal method was applied and found very effective to remove TCE from dead-end fractures.

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.

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 consider influences of the aperture variation and the ambient groundwater flow on the migration of DNAPL within a fracture network. In context of a modified invasion percolation (MIP) growth algorithm, we formulate a mechanistic model that includes capillary and gravity forces as well as viscous forces within the DNAPL and the ambient groundwater. The MIP model is verified against laboratory experiments, which is conducted using a two-dimensional random fracture network model. The results show that the aperture variation and ambient groundwater flow can be significant factors controlling DNAPL migration path within fracture networks.

The system of pores of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) is described by the so-called cherry-pit model, a random system of partially interpenetrating spheres. For the simulation of fracture processes, the solid phase is approximated by an irregular spatial network of beams obtained by means of the so-called radical tessellation with respect to the pore spheres. FE calculations using standard software (ANSYS) yield the strain energies of the beams. These energies are used as fracture criterion according to which highly loaded beams are considered as broken and are removed from the network. The paper investigates the relationship between mean fracture strength and microstructure for structures close to real AAC samples and virtual structures with particular geometrical properties.

불연속면의 분석은 방향성 데이터로서 적은 표본을 가지고 암반의 전체를 추론해야 하는 문제를 갖고 있다. 실험실에서 분석된 표본은 시추공에 의하여 분석된 데이터이므로 그 크기가 제한되어 있어, 거대한 암석을 분석하는 것은 대단히 어렵다. 따라서 이런 표본을 이용하여 거대한 암석의 대표 방향성, 집락 정도, 불연속면의 간격, 암석의 크기를 결정하는 연장성에 관하여 가정된 분포 하에서 계산하고, 이를 이용하여 암석의 분포형태를 관찰할 수 있는 확률 절리망을 그리는 알고리즘을 연구한다. 그리고 실제 불연속면 데이터를 적용하여 이들을 구하고 확률절리망을 작성한다.

This paper presents the numerical study to examine characteristics of fluid flow and solute transport in a rough fracture subject to effective normal stresses. The aperture distribution is generated by using the self-affine fractal model. In order to represent a nonlinear relationship between the supported normal stress and the fracture aperture, we combine a simple mechanical model with the local flow model. The solute transport is simulated using the random walk particle following algorithm. Results of numerical simulations show that the flow is significantly affected by the geometry of aperture distribution varying with the effective normal stress level while it is slightly affected by the fractal dimension that determines the degree of the fracture surface roughness. However, solute transport is influenced by the effective normal stress as well as the fracture surface roughness.

The Upper Devonian Grossmont Formation in Alberta, Canada reserves an estimated 50 billion cubic meters of bitumen and possess about 1/6 of the total bitumen resources in northern Alberta. However, unlike the overlying Athabasca oil sands, non conventional bitumen resources has not been developed as yet. The carbonate rocks of Grosmont Formation have been subject to various stages of diagenesis, including dolomatization and karstification with a strong effect on the distribution of porosity and permeability, which resulted in highly heterogeneous reservoirs. An extensive fracture logging and mapping was performed on total of six boreholes located in the study area to explore the characteristics of fracture geometry system and the subsurface structures of carbonates reservoir that holds bitumen. Fractal dimension was used as a measure of the statistical homogeneity of the fractured rock masses. The applicability of random Cantor dust, Dc, as a fractal parameter was examined systematically. The statistical homogeneity of fractured carbonates rock masses was investigated in the study area. The structural domains of the rock masses were delineated depthwise according to estimated Dc. The major fracture orientation was dominated by horizontal beddings having dip of $0-20^{\circ}$. Also, fractures having high dip angles existed with relatively low frequency. Three dimensional fracture network modeling for each structural domain has been performed based on fracture orientation and intensity, and some representative conceptual models for carbonates reservoir in the study area has been proposed. The developed subsurface conceptual models will be used to capture the geomechanical characteristics of the carbonates reservoir.

일반적으로 균열암반 매질은 수리전도도 혹은 그 난수장이나(연속체 모형), 투수성 균열의 공간적 통계적 분포(불연속균열망 모형)를 이용하여 표현할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 잘 알려진 균열암반매질의 개념 모형의 실질적 적용성을 검토하기 위하여 충청남도 금산군 남이면 남이자연휴양림 내 한국지질자원연구원 시험부지 내에서 다양한 현장 수리 시험을 적용하고, 그 결과를 비교검토하였다. 본 지역에서 투수성 구간의 수리전도도 값은 $7.67{\times}10^{-10}{\sim}3.16{\times}10^{-6}$ m/sec이며, 산술평균은 $7.70{\times}10^{-7}$ m/sec, 기하평균은 $2.16{\times}10^{-7}$ m/sec이다. 단공 패커 시험의 경우 총 8개의 공에서 총 110개 구간에 대한 시험을 수행하였다. 이 시험 구간 중 불투수성 구간은 총 9개, $1.0{\times}10^{-8}$ m/sec 이하의 수리전도도를 가지는 저투수성 구간은 총 14개로 전반적으로는 투수성이 양호한 것으로 확인되었다. 단공 패커시험을 통해 나타난 수리전도도의 수직적 분포는 단공 유향 유속 시험 결과와 비교적 잘 부합하는 양상으로 나타나고 있다. 하지만, 공간 수리시험의 결과는 전반적으로 투수성이 양호하다는 단공 시험 결과와는 다소 다른 양상을 보인다. 공간시험의 결과는 투수성보다는 연결성을 포함한 균열암반 매질의 투수성/불투수성의 이진법적 특성에 의해 더 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 균열암반 매질에서의 지하수 유동에 대한 개념 모형의 현실적이고 합리적인 설정을 위해서는 투수성/불투수성의 이진법적 특성에 대해 어떻게 규명할 것인가에 대한 조사방법과 해석방법에 대한 지속적인 연구가 요구된다.
