| Abstract |
The flow of petroleum hydrocarbons, organic solvents and other liquids that are immiscible with water presents the nation with some of the most difficult subsurface remediation problems. One aspect of contaminant transport associated releases of such liquids is the transport as a water-immiscible liquid phase. In the document approximate models of immiscible flow are presented for two- and three-phase flow. The approximations are constructed by representing the flow by hyperbolic equations which have method of characteristics solutions. This approximation has the additional benefit of being based on the fundamental wave behavior of the flow, which is revealed by the solutions of the models. An important result is that for three-phase flow, two flow regimes exist. The first is characterized by the displacement of one of the liquids into a bank which moves ahead of the other liquid. The second is characterized by almost complete bypassing of a liquid by the other. The occurrence of the flow regimes is dependent on the organic liquid properties, soil type and the initial amounts of the fluids present. |
