A review of spatial Markov models for predicting pre-asymptotic and anomalous transport in porous and fractured media

T Sherman, NB Engdahl, G Porta, D Bolster - Journal of Contaminant …, 2021 - Elsevier
Heterogeneity across a broad range of scales in geologic porous media often manifests in
observations of non-Fickian or anomalous transport. While traditional anomalous transport …

Mixing-limited reactions in porous media

AJ Valocchi, D Bolster, CJ Werth - Transport in Porous Media, 2019 - Springer

Anomalous transport through free-flow-porous media interface: Pore-scale simulation and predictive modeling

JS Kim, PK Kang - Advances in Water Resources, 2020 - Elsevier
Pore-scale velocity and turbulence structures near streambeds may control solute transport

Upscaling of anomalous pore-scale dispersion

A Puyguiraud, P Gouze, M Dentz - Transport in Porous Media, 2019 - Springer
We study the upscaling of advective pore-scale dispersion in terms of the Eulerian velocity
distribution and advective tortuosity, both flow attributes, and of the average pore length, a …

Recirculating flow-induced anomalous transport in meandering open-channel flows

JS Kim, IW Seo, D Baek, PK Kang - Advances in Water Resources, 2020 - Elsevier
Channel meanders in rivers induce complex three-dimensional (3D) flow characteristics
such as secondary flows and flow recirculation. Helical secondary flows promote transverse …

Recent advances in anomalous transport models for predicting contaminants in natural groundwater systems

D Bolster, KR Roche, VL Morales - Current Opinion in Chemical …, 2019 - Elsevier
High degrees of spatial heterogeneity in hydrologic systems pose a major barrier for their
protection and remediation. Dissolved and particulate contaminants are mixed and retained …

Inertia and diffusion effects on reactive transport with fluid-solid reactions in rough fracture flows

W Lee, S Yoon, PK Kang - Physical Review Fluids, 2023 - APS
Fluid inertia is known to exert a dominant control over transport processes in fracture flows.
In particular, recirculating flows readily arise in inertial rough fracture flows and have been …

Potential impact of pore-scale incomplete mixing on biodegradation in aquifers: From batch experiment to field-scale modeling

PK Kang, E Bresciani, S An, S Lee - Advances in Water Resources, 2019 - Elsevier
Biogeochemical reactions take place when reactants are present at the same location and
time, which occurs through pore-scale mixing. Although the degree of mixing should be …
