Περίληψη | A semi-analytical method for simulating transient contaminant transport originating from the
dissolution of multicomponent nonaqueous phase liquid NAPL pools in three-dimensional,
saturated, homogeneous porous media is presented. Each dissolved component may undergo
first-order decay and may sorb under local equilibrium conditions. The NAPL pool dissolution
. process is envisioned to occur in a series of consecutive short intervals pulses . The mole
fraction, nonaqueous phase activity coefficient and aqueous solubility of every pool constituent are
estimated before the initiation of each pulse, and they are assumed to remain constant for the
duration of each interval. Individual component aqueous phase concentrations resulting from each
dissolution interval are estimated by existing analytical solutions applicable to single component
NAPL pools, and total concentration distributions of the same component are obtained by direct
superposition. The semi-analytical method is more efficient and less computationally demanding
than a finite-difference approximation. Furthermore, it is shown that neglecting the changes in
nonaqueous phase activity coefficients that occur during multicomponent NAPL pool dissolution
may result in erroneous predictions. The model presented in this work is useful for the design and
interpretation of experiments in laboratory bench scale aquifers, certain homogeneous subsurface
formations, and for the verification of complex numerical codes. | en |
