Experimental Investigations of the Immiscible Flow of Water,Trichloroethylene (TCE), and Air Through Porous Media

对不溶于水的流体对地下水污染的表征进行了研究。由于缺乏有关饱和度-压力-渗透率关系的可用数据，目前对非混相流体污染地下水的模拟工作受到严重阻碍。它们同样受到缺乏模型验证实验数据的限制。使用专门设计的实验室设备对两种可选方法进行了检验，以同时测定饱和压力和渗透率。

Research is conducted on the characterization of the contamination of groundwater by fluids that are immiscible in water. Current efforts toward modeling groundwater contamination by an immiscible fluid are severely hindered by the paucity of available data on the relevant saturation-pressure-permeability relationships. They are similarly restricted by the lack of experimental data for model validation. Two alternative methods are examined using specially designed laboratory equipment for simultaneous determination of saturation pressure and permeability.
