Reactive Transport Modeling Approach and its Initial Saltcake Dilution Chemical Modeling

Description: During waste retrieval, chemical reactions, waste property changes, and waste movements/mixing interact. Thus,to be accurate, a waste process assessment methodology must account for these physical and chemical waste characteristics and mechanisms. This study provides suggestions for column tests and simulation modeling efforts to investigate saltwell pumping of Hanford Tank S-112. In addition, GMIN chemical modeling was initiated for S-112 saltcake dilution with 50% and 100% water as the first … more

Fingering Instabilities, Collapse, Avalanches and Self-Organized Criticality in Liquid Foams

Description: Foam is solid-like under low stress and liquid-like under high stress. It can sustain a small load elastically but a large one causes it to flow indefinitely. When shear stress is present, a pair of adjacent bubbles can be squeezed apart by another pair, leading to a T1 switching event. This local but abrupt topological change results in bubble-complexes rearranging from one metastable configuration to another. The resulting macroscopic dynamics is highly nonlinear and complex, involving large … more
