Review of NAPL modeling approaches for remediation

Modeling the flow of nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) involves the flow of two or more fluids through permeable media, referred to as multiphase flow modeling. This paper provides a review of multiphase modeling approaches and available codes, with particular emphasis on NAPL remediation technologies. Multiphase flow modeling has been used in the petroleum and geothermal fields for decades, but has been applied to environmental problems for …
