Steady salt water intrusion into coastal confined aquifer with inclined outflow face
The interface that exists between fresh and salt waters in a confined coastal aquifer with an indined outflowface is analysed. The outflow face behaves in a way analogous to that of a surface of seepage. The a priori unknown interface is modified through an iterative process which uses constrained least square fit. The method of finite differences is employed for the solution. The influence of changes in the driving bead and inclination often outnow face on the interface configuration and the quantity of free water flow are studied.
Abstract To quantify the risk and impact of CO2 seepage to the marine ecosystem, the Quantifying and Monitoring Potential Ecosystem Impacts of Geological Carbon Storage project is now undergoing in a bay in Scotland. In advance of the field experiment of this project, we conducted the numerical simulation of CO2 seepage. From this numerical study, we predicted how CO2 behave in the bay and how the condition of the sea changes.
