Toxic organic contaminants may enter the subsurface as slightly soluble and volatile
nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) or as dissolved solutes resulting in contaminant plumes …

The increasing use of petroleum-derived fuels over the last few decades has subsequently
augmented the risk of spills in the environment. Soil pollution with petroleum hydrocarbons …

This study investigates field‐scale DNAPL dissolution kinetics using high‐resolution
numerical simulations of DNAPL releases and dissolved phase transport. A percolation …

Groundwater contamination due to complex organic mixtures such as coal tar, creosote and
fuels is a widespread problem in industrialized regions. Although most compounds in these …

Predicting the dissolution rate of nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) in groundwater is
difficult, as the effects of variable pore and NAPL blob geometry are poorly understood. To …

The relationship between dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) mass reduction and
contaminant mass flux was investigated experimentally in four model source zones. The flow …

The US Geological Survey (USGS) solute transport and biodegradation code BIOMOC was
used in conjunction with the USGS universal inverse modeling code UCODE to quantify field …

Numerical experiments of non-reactive and reactive transport were carried out to quantify
the influence of a seasonally varying, transient flow field on transport and natural attenuation …

This paper presents a review of the state-of-the-art on interphase mass transfer between
immiscible fluids in porous media with focus on the factors that have significant influence on …

Difficulties associated with identifying the dense nonaqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) source
zone architecture at the field scale, combined with the computational costs of field‐scale …
