When a light, immiscible oil leaks above an unconfined aquifer, it spreads and forms a floating mound on the water table. The oil mound migrates in the direction of ambient groundwater how. In this study we present a governing equation for the migrating mound thickness by averaging the oil phase mass balance equation. Analytical and numerical solutions to an advective-dispersive type equation are presented to estimate the temporal and spatial distribution of the migrating oil mound thickness for two problems of practical importance: formation, spreading, and migration of an oil mound on the water table and spreading and migration of an established layer of oil with ambient groundwater flow. The model results compare favorably with test data obtained by laboratory flume experiments. Although the model has some simplifying assumptions such as the absence of capillary pressure gradients, sharp saturation changes across the phase interfaces, and single mobile phase (i.e., oil flow only), it can be useful as a screening or site assessment tool because of its relative simplicity.

The Auto-Tuned Land Data Assimilation System ( ATLAS)
Crow, W. T.; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2014-01-01)
Land data assimilation systems are commonly tasked with merging remotely sensed surface soil moisture retrievals with information derived from a soil water balance model driven by observed rainfall. The performance of such systems can be degraded by the incorrect specification of parameters describing modeling and observation errors. Here the Auto-Tuned Land Data Assimilation System (ATLAS) is introduced to simultaneously solve for all parameters required for the application of a simple land data assimilati...
A process-based diagnostic approach to model evaluation: Application to the NWS distributed hydrologic model
Yılmaz, Koray Kamil; Wagener, Thorsten (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2008-09-11)
Distributed hydrological models have the potential to provide improved streamflow forecasts along the entire channel network, while also simulating the spatial dynamics of evapotranspiration, soil moisture content, water quality, soil erosion, and land use change impacts. However, they are perceived as being difficult to parameterize and evaluate, thus translating into significant predictive uncertainty in the model results. Although a priori parameter estimates derived from observable watershed characteris...
An investigation of the flow and scour mechanisms around isolated spur dikes in a shallow open channel: 2. Conditions corresponding to the final stages of the erosion and deposition process
Köken, Mete (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2008-08-05)
Large eddy simulation (LES) is used to investigate the flow around a vertical spur dike in a straight channel with equilibrium scour bathymetry and the scour mechanisms in the later stages of the erosion deposition process. The equilibrium bathymetry is obtained from an experiment conducted at the same relatively low channel Reynolds number (Re = 18,000). Flow visualizations are used to complement the information obtained from the numerical simulation. The present investigation demonstrates that large-scale...
A SEMIANALYTICAL ANALYSIS OF COMPRESSIBLE ELECTROPHORETIC CAKE FORMATION
KAMBHAM, KKR; Tuncay, Kağan; CORAPCIOGLU, MY (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 1995-05-01)
Leaks in geomembrane liners of waste landfills and liquid impoundments cause chemical contaminants to leak into the subsurface environment. A mathematical model is presented to simulate electrophoretic sealing of impoundment leaks. The model describes the formation of a compressible clay cake because of electrical and gravitational forces. The model includes mass balance equations for the solid-particles and liquid phase, modified Darcy's law in an electrical field, and Terzaghi's definition of effective st...
Estimation of river flow by artificial neural networks and identification of input vectors susceptible to producing unreliable flow estimates
Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin (Elsevier BV, 2009-09-15)
Reliable river flow estimates are crucial for appropriate water resources planning and management. River flow forecasting can be conducted by conceptual or physical models, or data-driven black box models. Development of physically-based models requires an understanding of ail the physical processes which impact a natural process and the interactions among them. Since identification of the relationships among these physical processes is very difficult, data-driven approaches have recently been utilized in h...
