2D Electrical Resistivity Tomography surveys optimisation of solutes transports in porous media
Résumé
The purpose of this study is to quantify experimentally the evolution of dissolved species in porous media from 2D resistivity models. Transport experiments are carried out at the laboratory scale by performing flow in a model porous medium obtained by filling a transparent container with mono disperse glass beads. A tracer made by mixing a dissolved of blue dye and a known NaCl concentration is injected with a constant flow rate through the porous medium already saturated by a transparent fluid. ERT measurements are acquired during the fluid flow. The measurement conditions and the inversion parameters are estimated so that the relation between spatial and temporal resolutions is optimised. A video follow-up is also carried out during the upward tracer propagation. The comparison of the temporal evolution of the NaCl concentration distribution estimated from ERT models with Video analysis shows remarkable agreement.
