An evaluation of boundary conditions for one-dimensional solute transport, 2 : column experiments / by K.S. Novakowski.: En13-5/91-51E-PDF

"This is the second paper in a two-part series in which the boundary conditions for analytical models used to interpret tracer experiments are evaluated. In this paper a number of tracer experiments are conducted in laboratory columns and interpreted using the analytical models developed in the first paper. To conduct the experiments, a new column method was developed which resulted in markedly improved accuracy in estimates of dispersion. This method should prove popular amongst others conducting similar studies. In addition, it was determined that only one particular analytical model is supported by physical evidence. This model is different than any in the literature to date and will provide much more realistic estimates of the dispersion parameters than those currently in use. Having established the correct boundary conditions, a new analytical model must now be developed for radial flow so that these results can be applied to the field case"--Management Perspective.
