Matrix diffusion is an important transport parameter controlling the late-time behaviour of breakthrough curves (BTCs). We compute the memory function, implemented in the sink/source term of Mobile-immobile mass transfer by solving the matrix diffusion using a time diffusion random-walk approach. The diffusion is controlled by different parameters like the porosity, tortuosity, mobile-immobile interface and immobile domain cluster shapes. All these properties are investigated by X-ray microtomography that captures the main characteristics of matrix diffusion at three dimensions. We compare the memory function deduced from the field-scale tracer tests well with the computed memory function. Simulation results of the memory function appeared to be coherent with that measured from the tracer test for a large tortuosity value. Probably, the diffusion paths are longer, and they are controlled by the properties mentioned above. From a representative elementary volume of natural reservoirs studied here, we conclude that, microscale diffusion process in the immobile domain play a crucial role to better understand the non-Fickian dispersion measured from the tracer test.展开更多

Our results show that the larger polarizable anions I– and Br– is attracted to the surface which is traced back to surface-modified ion hydration, while the F– was repelled from the interface and the Cl– occupied the total volume of the water slab. Moreover, by artificially increasing the ions charge, anions were localized to the center of the water slab. These results demonstrate that the effect of polarizability cannot be neglected in the transport mechanism.展开更多

We present a study of the physics of a black hole using a quantum field theory frame based on the WZW model in a suitable mathematical frame. Based on the Schwarzschild metric, we show the different regions of our universe with the present singularities. Then we introduce the calculation of a black hole mass using the perturbation theory. We further discuss Hawking radiation and its quantum mechanical implications. At some limits, the space time can represent a black hole with a singularity hidden by the horizon.展开更多
