Vibration-induced mobilization of trapped non-aqueous phase liquids in porous media

Quantitative aspects of vibratory mobilization and break-up of non-wetting fluids in porous media

“…In the modeling, we have carefully selected and analyzed the numerical schemes based upon the FLUENT User's Guide (2006), experiences of a previous investigator (Li, 2006), and our own testing. A detailed description of the numerical options used in our modeling is given in the following.…”

“…In our study, we employ commercial CFD (computational fluid dynamics) packages FLUENT and COMSOL to conduct our numerical simulations. These two CFD packages are convenient to use and have been shown to perform well for the modeling of two-phase immiscible flow (Li, 2006;FLUENT, 2006;COMSOL, 2007;Beresnev et al, 2009;Gupta et al, 2009).…”
