Storage coefficient

If the test has proceeded till a steady state (cone of depression fully developed), the leakage factor as well as the storage coefficient can be determined. These factors are less important but may be critical when it comes to modelling... 

The physics of thermal conduction and storage are, in fact, directly analogous to those of groundwater flow. Thermal conductivity (kT) and hydraulic conductivity (k) are analogous, as are heat capacity and storage coefficient and temperature (7) and hydraulic head (h). Indeed, heat flow (H) is estimated by an analogous equation to Darcy s Law ... 

The set of constitutive parameters contains the (drained) elastic volumetric compliance C and two poroelastic constants the Biot stress coefficient b, and the unconstrained storage coefficient Sa = d(/dp a which can be expressed as So- = bB 1C ([13]), where B is the Skempton pore pressure coefficient. The other three parameters, a, f3, and 7 quantify the physico-chemical interactions. Both a and (3 are constrained to vary from 0 when there is no chemical interaction to 1 when the salt ions are trapped in the pore network (this limiting case is referred to as the perfect ion exclusion membrane model ). The coefficient 7 can simply be approximated by 7 x0/n, where n is the porosity of the shale. 

Figure 1 shows this solution for 0 < a < 1 and a = 1 D = 0). The parameters used were the same as in the analysis in the next paragraph, see Table 2, except for the concentration and storage coefficient in the porous medium Ci2 = 0, SS2 = 4.6 10-10 and the storage coefficient in the clay, i.e. S3i = 10-6. Figure 1 shows that the model supports the limiting behaviour for a. 

Because the model uses observational data as input and produces other data which also represent possible observations, it can be said to represent or mimic nature. For example, a groundwater flow model uses measured or assumed parameters (e.g., permeabilities and storage coefficients) as input, and produces calculated water velocities, which may or may not be measurable. Models of complex natural situations are thus not only abstractions, but simplified abstractions of nature. In an effort to mimic nature more and more closely, they become more and more complex, often incorporating other models to deal with specific aspects of the overall situation. Thus, for example, a model of water chemistry will probably include a model of activity coefficients (see 3.4.2).

Through large scale water test and analytical method, some important parameters in different ranges of deep karst aquifers can ne reasonably obtained, for example, water storage coefficient, transmissivity coefficient and pressure conductivity coefficient. 

As mentioned in the section of introduction, the specific storage coefficient in (3) for transient flow is conventionally assumed to be a constant. In contrast, in this paper nonlinear elasticity of soil is considered so that is a stress-dependent or hydraulic-head-dependent parameter. 

One may note that the results in Figures 3b-3e show that both the individual and cumulative subsidence from a linear model is larger than that from a nonlinear model. The difference of results between the linear and nonlinear models can be explained by the specific storage coefficient in (10) that suggests the stress ratio R = S hyS is less than one or Sji h) after the pump turns on (only...

According to Kipp s advice, during the calculation process of transmissibility coefficient, the value of dimensionless inertia coefficient P is selected based on the dimensionless storage coefficient. In common cases, the dimensionless storage coefficient ranges from 10 to lO , while the value of P s 10". 

However, different aquifer systems have different dimensionless inertia coefficient p. In this paper, the dimensionless storage coefficient is respectively calculated when pis 10 °, 10" and 10 according the formula = a n For detailed figures, please refer to Table 1.

Circular plots aid in studying polarization effects as function of frequency (52). If a single dielectric relaxation time is involved, the plot of the loss index against the dielectric constant (for fi equencies fi om just above and below those for which polarization occurs) is a semicircle with its center on the dielectric constant axis (Fig. 30a). If more than one dielectric relaxation time is involved, it is still possible to plot the loss index against the dielectric constant axis (Fig. 30b). A new parameter is required, the storage coefficient, a, which is the complement... 

The storage coefficient is the ratio of the energy stored to the energy dissipated under the influence of polarization during each cycle. With this concept it is necessary to introduce two new expressions (eq. 19 and 20).
