Significant progress has been achieved on radionuclide transport in fractured rocks due to
worldwide urgent needs for geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW) …

Among the current problems that hydrogeologists face, perhaps there is none as
challenging as the characterization of fractured rock (Faybishenko and Benson 2000). This …

Plutonium (Pu) in the subsurface environment can transport in different oxidation states as
an aqueous solute or as colloidal particles. The transport behavior of Pu is affected by the …

Fractional advection–dispersion equations are used in groundwater hydrology to model the
transport of passive tracers carried by fluid flow in a porous medium. In this paper we …

A complete treatment of the theory and practice of groundwater engineering, The Handbook
of Groundwater Engineering, Second Edition provides a current and detailed review of how …

Two large‐scale cross‐hole pum** tests were conducted at depths of 191–226 m and 662–
706 m in deep boreholes at the Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory (MIU) …

The permeability of bedrock aquifers varies by more than four orders of magnitude between
different lithologies, but the reasons for this large range remain unexplained. In this review …

Matrix diffusion is an important mechanism for solute transport in fractured rock. We recently
conducted a literature survey on the effective matrix diffusion coefficient, Dme, a key …

Tracers are materials injected into reservoirs of enhanced geothermal systems (EGSs) for
reservoir characterization and thermal performance assessment. This work presents a …

Natural aquifers usually exhibit complex physical and chemical heterogeneities, which are
key factors complicating kinetic processes, such as contaminant transport and …
