| dc.description.abstract | While the use of Monte Carlo method has been prevalent in nuclear engineering, it has yet to fully blossom in the study of solute transport in porous media. By using an etched-glass micromodel, an attempt is made to apply Monte Carlo method for analyzing the solute transport phenomena. The results from widely used code FTWORK were served as an industry benchmark to evaluate the Monte Carlo simulations. The three objectives of the research are to define accurately the hydraulic properties of the micromodel, establish a theoretical relationship between the advection-diffusion in porous media and the neutron transport equation and thirdly, incorporate and demonstrate the theoretical relationship in a Monte Carlo simulation. The results are agreeable ones, surpassing the results from FTWORK simulations in resemblance to the actual contour profiles, confirming that Monte Carlo method can be used effectively in microscale solute transport in porous media. | en |
