The electrostatic properties of clay (or other charged) mineral surfaces play a significant role in the fate, transport, persistence, and remediation of subsurface contaminant plumes. This study presents a stochastic assessment of the impact and relevance of microscale electrostatic effects on macroscopic, field-scale contaminant transport in heterogeneous groundwater systems involving spatially distributed clay zones. We present Monte Carlo simulations in two-dimensional heterogeneous fields, comprising heterogeneous distributions of physical (i.e., hydraulic conductivity, porosity, tortuosity) and electrostatic (i.e., surface charge) properties, and compare scenarios with different ... |
