Development of a clusterwise-linear-regression-based forecasting system for characterizing DNAPL dissolution behaviors in porous media

Groundwater contamination by dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) has become an issue of great concern in many industrialized countries due to their serious threat to human health. Dissolution and transport of DNAPLs in porous media are complicated, multidimensional and multiphase processes, which pose formidable challenges for investigation of their behaviors and implementation of effective remediation technologies. Numerical simulation …
