Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMNM1D: A Numerical Code for Colloid Transport in Porous Media: Implementation and ValidationTiziana Tosco, Rajandrea SethiProblem statement: Understanding the mechanisms that control the transport and fate of colloidal particles in subsurface environments is a crucial issue faced by several researchers in the last years. In many cases, natural colloids have been shown to play a major role in the spreading of strongly sorbing contaminants, while manufactured micro-and nanoparticles, which are nowadays widely spread in the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 8,291 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeat Transport Modeling in an Aquifer Downgradient a Municipal Solid Waste Landfill in ItalyRajandrea Sethi, Antonio Di MolfettaHeat generation inside municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills is due to aerobic and anaerobic exothermic reactions occurring inside the waste. The result of heat generation and transport inside sanitary landfill leads to a temperature field that varies from mesophylic range (optimum at 30-40°C) to thermophylic range (optimum at 50-60°C). Due to high temperatures at the bottom of the landfill, liner … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,210 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordNumerical Study of Natural Convection in a Square Porous Cavity Thermally Modulated on Both Side WallsGiovani E.B. Malomar, Abdoulaye Gueye, Cheikh Mbow et al.The numerical study of natural convection in a square porous cavity saturated by a Newtonian fluid is presented in this study. The vertical walls are subjected to temperatures varying sinusoidally in time and phase opposition while the upper and lower horizontal walls are thermally adiabatic. Darcy model is used, it is also assumed the fluid studied is incompressible and obeys … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 13 Aug 2016 · 7,912 accessesView PDF Cite
