Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of groundwater pollution prevention and control, more particularly to a method and system for estimating the transport of reactive solute in packed macropores. BACKGROUND
[0002] As the theoretical basis for groundwater pollution prevention and control, the research on solute transport mechanism has always been an important topic in the field of hydrogeology. However, due to the heterogeneity, anisotropy and scale uncertainty of porous media, the research on solute transport has been slow. Therefore, it is of great scientific value to construct a model that can comprehensively reflect the characteristics of reactive solute transport in macropores for precise prediction of pollutant migration paths and optimization of remediation schemes.
[0003] The present application is applicable to the prediction of pollutant migration and the optimization of remediation schemes. The packed macropores present dead-end pores, which are immobile regions, and significantly change the migration pattern of the solute plume through hysteresis effect. However, in the prior art, the traditional single-pore model cannot describe the reactive transport process of solute in packed pores, and there are problems such as ignoring the dynamic mass transfer between the mobile and immobile regions of the packed pores, leading to prediction bias of the tailing effect, and failing to reflect the solute retention mechanism. Moreover, the traditional research method only considers the solute transport in the mobile region, ignoring the influence of complex macropore structure on the reactive transport of solute. Therefore, there is a need for a method and system for estimating the reactive solute transport in packed macropores that more comprehensively considers the mass transfer process of solute transport, solves the problem of over-simplified structure representation of traditional single-pore models, and improves the accuracy of prediction due to incomplete mass transfer matrix.
