| dc.description.abstractEn | Foam propagation and stability in highly permeable porous media, encountered in soil pollution applications, are still challenging. Here, we investigated the application of foam for blocking the aquifer to divert the flow from a contaminated zone and, therefore, ease the remediation treatments. The main aim was to better understand the critical parameters when the foam is injected into a highly permeable aquifer with high groundwater flow velocity (up to 10 m/day). A decimetric-scale 2D tank experimental setup filled with 1 mm glass beads was used. The front part of the 2D tank was made of transparent glass to photograph the foam flow using the light-reflected method. The water flow was generated horizontally through injection and pumping points on the sides of the tank. The pre-generated foam was injected at the bottom center of the tank. Water streamlines (using dye tracing) and water saturation were investigated using image interpretation. Results show that 100% of the water flow was diverted during the injection of the foam. Foam stability in porous media depends significantly on the horizontal water flow rate. Recirculating water containing the surfactant increases foam stability. The main mechanism of destruction was identified as the dilution of the surfactant in water. However, the head-loss measurements showed that despite foam destruction, the relative permeability of the water phase in the media remained quite low. Injection of foam increases the radius of gas propagation, thanks to foam's high viscosity, compared to a pure gas injection case. These results are new highlights on the efficiency of foam as a blocking agent, showing that it can also serve as a means for gas transport more efficiently in porous media, especially for soil remediation applications. | |
