The groundwater is a very important part of the environment and must be protected for the benefit of the present and future generation. The contamination of soil and groundwater by chemicals has become an increasing concern in the recent past. These chemicals enter the groundwater system by a wide variety of mechanisms, including accidental spills, land disposal of domestic and industrial wastes and application of agricultural fertilizers. Once introduced into an aquifer, these contaminants will be transported by flowing groundwater and may degrade water quality at nearby wells and streams. For improving the management and protection of groundwater resources, it is important to first understand the various processes that control the transport of contaminants in groundwater. Predictions of the fate of groundwater contaminants can be made to assess the effect of these chemicals on local water resources and to evaluate the effectiveness of remedial actions. In this study, an attempt has been made to investigate the behaviour of solute transport through porous media using laboratory experiments. Sodium chloride was used as a conservative chemical in the experiment. During the experiment, pulse boundary condition and continuous boundary conditions were used. Experimental results have been presented for conservative solute transport in the sand. The pattern of the break through curve remains almost same in all the cases of varying flow rate and initial concentration of conservative chemical.

In the developing country like India, groundwater is the main sources for household, irrigation and industrial use. Its contamination poses hydro-geological and environmental concern. The hazardous waste sites such as landfills can lead to contamination of ground water. The contaminants existing at such sites can eventually find ingress down through the soil and into the groundwater in case of leakage. It is necessary to understand the process of migration of pollutants through sub-surface porous medium for avoiding health risks. On this backdrop, the present paper investigates the behavior of pollutants' migration through porous media. The laboratory experiments were carried out on a soil-column model that represents porous media. Two different types of soils (standard sand and red soil) were considered as the media. Further, two different solutes, i.e., non-reactive and reactive, were used. The experimental results are simulated through numerical modeling. The percentage variation in the experimental and numerical results is found to be in the range of 0.75- 11.23 % and 0.84 - 1.26% in case of standard sand and red soil, respectively. While a close agreement is observed in most of the breakthrough curves obtained experimentally and numerically, good agreement is seen in either result in one case.

The governing partial differential equation of flow in porous media is developed on the bases of the continuity equation of fluid for transient flow through a saturated-unsaturated zone, and substitution of Dercy's law. The numerical solution is obtained by the Galerkin finite element method based on the principle of weighted residuals. The analysis is carried out by using the unsteady storm data observed and the functional relationships between the hydraulic conductivities, capillary pressure heads, and volumetric water contents under saturated-unsaturated conditions. As the results the hydraulic conductivities, rates of change of storage and initial moisture conditions are significantly influened on the responses of subsurface flow on a hillslope.

지반오염을 조사하기 위해서는 시추작업을 통하여 시료를 채취하는 방법이 일반적이지만, 실시간으로 원위치에서 다양한 오염물질들의 오염 도 변화를 체계적으로 모니터링 하는 것은 대단히 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR) 장비를 고안하여 지반의 유류오염을 파악하기 위한 유전율 측정법의 실험적 접근을 시도하였다. 구체적으로 포화 및 불포화 매질에 대한 유류 오염도 측정 및 체적함수비 (θ/sub w/)와 체적 유류비 ( θ/sub al/)의 관계에서 유전율 상수 반응에 따른 매질의 유류 오염도 등의 측정 가능성을 실내 시험을 통해 검토하였다. 뿐만 아니라 실내 칼럼 시험을 수행하여 포화 매질 내에서 유류 거동 특성을 각기 설치된 FDR 측정 센서를 이용해 모니터링하여 포화 매질의 유효공극률과 유류 잔류비를 측정하였다. 그 결과 초기 공극률 0.40으로 제작된 포화 매질의 유효공극률은 약 0.35로 공극률 대비 약 87.5% 범위내에 존재함을 알 수 있었으며, 유류 잔류비는 약 62.5% 정도로 매우 높게 나타났다.

This paper reports the experimental results for the determination of the overall partition coefficient of VOCs in unsaturated soil, A chromatographic method was used for the determination of gaseous partition coefficients to natural soil under various water content conditions. The equilibrium vapor pressure of water over saturated salt solution was used to fix the relative humidity of the air and control the water content of the soil systems. The transport behavior was studied for dichloromethane, trichloroethane and dichlorobenzene pollutants, with log octanol-water partition coefficients(log $K_{ow}$ ) which range from 1.25 to 3.39, or water to soil partitioning which varies by 135 times; water solubility constants which vary by 3 times; and vapor pressures which range from 1 to 362 torr. Water content of the soil had a pronounced effect on the effective partition coefficient(between gas and soil + water stationary phase) as well as on the effective dispersion coefficient.

지반을 대상으로 지하수의 이동 및 오염물질 침투에 대한 평가를 위해, 지반을 구성하고 있는 매질의 공극률과 유효공극률을 파악하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 이들은 물질 이동을 결정하는 중요한 물리적 파라메터이다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 유전율 시스템인 FOR-V (Frequency domain reflectometry with vector network analyzer)를 적용하여 표준사 (Standard sand)와 강모래 (River sand)에 대한 공극률 및 유효공극률을 측정하기 위한 실험적 연구를 실시하였다. 또한, 이들을 측정하기 위해, 다공질 매질에 대한 유전율상수의 특성을 고려한 유전율 믹싱모델 (dielectric FDR-V 시스템을 적용한 주입실험 (Injection test)과 주입물질의 농도를 측정하는 치환실험 (Replacement test)을 수행하였다. 두 종류의 실험 결과치를 비교한 결과, 측정된 유효공극률을 공극률과 비교해 보면, 약 85 - 92 %의 범위 내에 존재하는 것으로 측정되었다. 일반적인 흙의 유효공극률은 공극률에 대해 약 90 % 범위 내에 분포하고 있는 것으로 알려져 있으나, 본 연구에서는 다소 낮은 결과치를 보이고 있다. 이러한 현상은 시스템의 측정 프로브의 측정 범위가 직경 0.36 cm의 동축측정프로브 끝부분에서 이루어져 비교적 작기 때문에 제작된 흙 시료전 체적에 대한 유효공극률의 결과치이기 보다는 프로브가 위치한 지점에 대한 측정치로 판단된다. 이러한 측정 프로브의 특성을 고려해 볼 때, FDR-V 시스템은 연구자가 의도한 연구에 따라 특정 지점에 대한 지반의 정밀한 물리적 특성을 파악할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This investigation was performed to determine the hydraulic conductivity coefficient and water holding capacity for a specified compaction forces which are the amount of mechanical energy applied to the porous granule (PG) volume. Most current specifications of minerals and perlite as growth media require to be compacted to a specified density, which in general is equivalent to a certain percentage of laboratory compaction. The water holding capacity of the saturated PG was very large at potential above -1 bar compared with perlite, but very little water remained below this value. The water holding capacity and hydraulic conductivity characteristics of graded PG amended with the ground coir less than 2 mm in diameter were also determined from pressure outflow data. The saturated hydraulic conductivity of the saturated and compacted PG was slightly lower by more than one tenth order of magnitude at equal matric potentials of perlite, but when expressed on the basis of equal water deficits, the conductivity of PG was higher at all but the smallest deficits than those of perlite.

Recent Engineered nanoparticles were increasingly exposed to environmental system with the wide application and production of nanomaterials, concerns are increasing about their environmental risk to soil and groundwater system. In order to assess the transport behavior of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), a saturated packed column experiments were examined. Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry and a DLS detector was used for concentration and size measurement of AgNPs. The column experiment results showed that solution chemistry had a considerable temporal deposition of AgNPs on the porous media of solid glass beads. In column experiment, comparable mobility improvement of AgNPs were observed by changing solution chemistry conditions from salts (in both NaCl and $CaCl_2$ solutions) to DI conditions, but in much lower ionic strength (IS) with $CaCl_2$. Additionally, the fitted parameters with two-site kinetic attachment model form the experimental breakthrough curves (BTCs) were associated that the retention rates of the AgNPs aggregates were enhanced with increasing IS under both NaCl and $CaCl_2$ solutions.

물리현상의 인과성에 대한 필요충분조건은 Kramers-Kr$\ddot{o}$nig (K-K) 관계식으로 표현된다. 음파에 대한 Kramers-Kr$\ddot{o}$nig 관계식은 음파의 위상속도 분산식과 감쇠계수 분산식 사이의 힐버트 변환 쌍으로 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 400 kHz-1.1 MHz의 고주파 영역에서 물이 찬 다공성 유리구슬 매질에서 측정된 p파 음속 및 감쇠계수를 Waters 등에 의해 얻어진 미분 형태의 Kramers-Kr$\ddot{o}$nig 관계식과 정량적으로 비교했다. 감쇠계수는 주파수의 거듭제곱형태를 따르며, 이때 실험값은 Kramers-Kr$\ddot{o}$nig 관계식과 비교적 정확히 일치한다.
