Homogenization of Miscible Displacement in Unsaturated Aggregated Soils

  • Chapter
Composite Media and Homogenization Theory

Part of the book series: Progress in Nonlinear Differential Equations and Their Applications ((PNLDE,volume 5))

Abstract

A double porosity model is derived for the transport of a solute in an unsaturated soil. The formal homogenization is carried out and the resulting macro-model is dealt with numerically. Comparisons of break-through curves are given for cases with different degrees of aggregation.
