Περίληψη | The transport of variably sized colloids (polydisperse) in a fracture with
uniform aperture is investigated by a particle-tracking model that treats colloids as
discrete particles with unique transport properties while accounting for either matrix
diffusion or irreversible colloid deposition. For the special case of a monodisperse colloid
suspension the particle-tracking model is in perfect agreement with predictions based on
an existing analytical solution. It is shown that lognormal colloid size distributions exhibit
greater spreading than monodisperse suspensions. Increasing the fracture porosity of the
solid matrix leads to higher matrix diffusion, which in turn delays particle breakthrough
for both the monodisperse and variably sized colloid suspensions. The smallest particles of
a distribution are more greatly affected by matrix diffusion whereas the largest particles
are transported faster and further along a fracture. Both perfect sink and kinetic colloid
deposition onto fracture surfaces are examined. Kinetic deposition accounts for colloid
surface exclusion by either a linear or nonlinear blocking function. For both cases the
smallest colloid particles tend to preferentially deposit onto the fracture wall. Both matrix
diffusion and surface deposition tend to discretize colloid distributions according to
particle size so that larger particles are least retarded and smaller particles are more
slowly transported. Furthermore, it is shown that the rate of colloid deposition is inversely
proportional to the fracture aperture. | en |
