The relationship between the longitudinal dispersion coefficient and the average pore velocity was found experimentally for the three regimes of fluid flow in a porous medium. An equation was developed describing the tracer concentration for the continuous injection of a tracer fluid from a point source in a column of porous medium. The experimental breakthrough curve was used with this equation to find the longitudinal dispersion coefficient as a function of average pore velocity.masters thesesengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
