Inexact Multiphase Modeling System for the Management of Subsurface Contamination under Uncertainty

This study presents an integrated approach with multiphase modeling, factorial design, and Monte Carlo simulation by which to deal with uncertainties in the fate and transport process of petroleum contaminants in a subsurface environment. A set of 24 factorial experiments is conducted for 4 factors, including the permeability and porosity of sandy loam and clay soils, in order to examine the effects of uncertain input characteristics on the …
