It was observed from the experimental data that the addition of acoustic waves, in the frequency range between 60 to 245 Hz, to a steady background pressure gradient, enhances solute transport compared to the base case consisting of only a background pressure gradient. Furthermore, it was found that the effective velocity of the solute is approximately inversely proportional to the frequency of the acoustic wave.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Geophysical Research Letters 29151710A40-GRL-02.pdfChania [Greece]Library of TUC2015-09-20application/pdf177.8 kBfree Chrysikopoulos Constantinos Χρυσικοπουλος Κωνσταντινος Eric T.
