Investigation the Distribution Pattern and Life-Time Duration of Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (DNAPL) in Heterogeneous Porous Media (Fractured Media)

Abstract
Dense non-aqueous phase liquid accounts for a large share of groundwater pollution. In oil-rich countries, including Iran, the emission of this type of pollutant is mainly through leakage from concrete and steel tanks belonging to refineries and gas stations. The dissolution of these pollutants in groundwater and the vapor intrusion into residential homes increased the importance of developing efficient treatment methods. To choose the best method, it is necessary to gain sufficient knowledge of how these types of contaminants are distributed in the subsurface and how contaminants change and move over time. Heterogeneity, especially in the form of fracture, is one of the challenges to...

Abstract
Induced Polarization (IP) is a non-intrusive geophysical method to monitor Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) contamination and remediation processes underground. In this study, an advanced numerical code simulating DNAPL flow and complex electrical resistivity is presented. The model was validated against existing IP results and image measurements that were carried out previously in a series of 2D tank experiment. Multiphase flow modeling in porous media is coupled with electrical current modeling to simulate the process of DNAPL migration and the associated IP response. This brings a broader view of the contamination in space and time compared to surface and borehole measurements,...
