Little quantitative, experimental pore-scale information exists regarding nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) ganglia undergoing dissolution in porous media. By using refractive index matched fluids and porous media, we have been able to nonintrusively visualize NAPL dissolution (at constant capillary nu

This article outlines the basic rules and promise of two of the simplest methods for solving problems of convection in porous media. First, scale analysis is the method that produces order-of-magnitude results and trends (scaling laws) for concrete and applicable results such as heat transfer rates,
Scaling analysis takes the guesswork out of developing and using models Scaling analysis facilitates assessing the viability of a process or technology without the need for prior bench- or pilot-scale data. It also provides a template for the design of experiments used to explore a new process or t
