A hybrid continuum-discrete pipe flow model (CAVE) is used for the modeling. The effects of coupling of the two flow systems on type and duration of early karstification are studied for different boundary conditions. Assuming fixed head boundaries at both ends of the conduit, coupling of the two flow systems via exchange flow between the conduit and the fissured system leads to an enhanced evolution of the conduit. This effect is valid over a wide range of initial conduit diameters, and karstification is accelerated by a factor of about 100 as compared to the case of no exchange flow. Parameter studies reveal the influence of the exchange coefficient and of the hydraulic conductivity of the fissured system on the development time for the conduit. In a second scenario the upstream fixed head boundary is switched to a fixed flow boundary at a specified flow rate during the evolution, limiting the amount of water draining toward the evolving conduit. Depending on the flow rate specified, conduit evolution may be slowed down or greatly impaired if exchange flow is considered."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1029/2003WR002218"],["dc.identifier.isi","000186091500003"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/45110"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Amer Geophysical Union"],["dc.relation.issn","0043-1397"],["dc.title","Modeling of karst aquifer genesis: Influence of exchange flow"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Effective strategies for the management and protection of karst aquifers, therefore, require an adequate hydrogeological characterisation of the conduit systems. In particular, the identification and characterisation of conduits transmitting rapid, localised recharge to springs is of great interest for vulnerability assessments. In this work, it is demonstrated that localised recharge and conduit flow in a karst aquifer (Urenbrunnen catchment, southwest Germany) can be characterised by jointly analysing the hydraulic and physico-chemical responses of a spring to recharge events. Conduit volumes are estimated by evaluating time lags between increases in spring discharge and associated changes in the electrical conductivity and temperature of the discharged water. These estimates are confirmed by the results of a combined tracer and recharge test. Variations in electrical conductivity are also shown to assist in the quantification of the fast recharge component associated with short-term recharge pulses. However, spectral analysis of temperature fluctuations reveals that highly mineralised surface waters locally infiltrate into the aquifer during the winter and spring without causing significant electrical conductivity variations in the spring water. Hence, the most consistent conceptual model is obtained by a combined analysis of both physico-chemical parameters. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V.

This article provides a time-continuous approach for the estimation of inflow into the conduit system of a karst aquifer which consists of the sum of direct recharge and flow from the fissured matrix blocks into the conduit system. The approach employs the first time derivative of the spring hydrograph and the recession coefficient of the conduit system for the determination of this function. The first time derivative of the hydrograph describes the rate of change in spring discharge. It reflects the ratio of inflow to and outflow from the conduit system. The recession coefficient depends on the hydraulic diffusivity, which controls the velocity of the signal transmission through the system. As shown in parameter studies with a simplified serial two-reservoir model, direct recharge into the conduit system clearly dominates the early hydrograph response during recharge events even if the fraction of direct recharge represents just a few percent of total recharge. This behaviour is caused by a large contrast in recession coefficients between conduit system and fissured matrix blocks. The direct recharge component can therefore be separated from the estimated total inflow into the conduit system. Estimation of inflow into the conduit system of the Gallusquelle spring (Swabian Alb, Germany) after a storm event yields similar results as those obtained from parameter studies. The separation of the direct recharge component is in agreement with information from an independent isotope study. The methodology has been further applied to a recharge event initiated by snowmelt. As a result of daily variations of the air temperature, a clearly diurnal cycle of inflow into the conduit system is estimated that is not easily recognizable from the spring hydrograph. The applicability of the proposed methodology requires knowledge about the magnitude of the recession coefficient of the conduit system. The characteristics of the conduit system become also apparent in the rapid transport of tracers. The recession coefficient of the conduit system can, for example, directly be estimated from the reciprocal of the mean tracer travel time. However, for this type of analysis, only tracer experiments, covering the extent of the catchment should be taken into account. For the Gallusquelle catchment the recession coefficient obtained from the tracer experiment corresponds to that obtained from hydrograph recession analysis. The estimated inflow into the conduit system and interpretation of temporal distribution of recharge is therefore based on a plausible and physically based parameter. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Our tomographic inversion strategy is tested by simulated multilevel. interference slug tests in which the positions of the sources (injection ports) and the receivers (observation ports) isolated with packers are varied. Simulations include the delaying effect of wellbore storage on travel times which are quantified and shown to be of increasing importance for shorter travel distances. For the reduction of ambiguity of travel time inversion, we use the full travel time data set, as well as smaller data subsets of specified source-receiver angles. The inversion results of data subsets show different resolution characteristics and improve the reliability of the interpretation. The travel time of a pressure pulse is a function of the diffusivity of the medium between the source and receiver. Thus, it is difficult to directly derive values for hydraulic conductivity and specific storage by inverting travel times. In order to overcome this limitation, we exploit the great computational efficiency of hydraulic travel. time tomography to define the aquifer structure, which is then input into the underlying groundwater flow model MODFLOW-96.

Groundwater flow within highly permeable strata is rapid and transient and depends on local flow conditions, i.e., pressurized or nonpressurized flow. The characterization of karst aquifers is a necessary and challenging task because information about hydraulic and spatial conduit properties is poorly defined or unknown. To investigate karst aquifers, hydraulic stresses such as large recharge events can be simulated with hybrid (coupled discrete continuum) models. Since existing hybrid models are simplifications of the system dynamics, a new karst model (ModBraC) is presented that accounts for unsteady and nonuniform discrete flow in variably saturated conduits employing the Saint-Venant equations. Model performance tests indicate that ModBraC is able to simulate (1) unsteady and nonuniform flow in variably filled conduits, (2) draining and refilling of conduits with stable transition between free-surface and pressurized flow and correct storage representation, (3) water exchange between matrix and variably filled conduits, and (4) discharge routing through branched and intermeshed conduit networks. Subsequently, ModBraC is applied to an idealized catchment to investigate the significance of free-surface flow representation. A parameter study is conducted with two different initial conditions: (1) pressurized flow and (2) free-surface flow. If free-surface flow prevails, the systems is characterized by (1) a time lag for signal transmission, (2) a typical spring discharge pattern representing the transition from pressurized to free-surface flow, and (3) a reduced conduit-matrix interaction during free-surface flow."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) [LI 727/11-1, SA 501/24-1]"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1029/2011WR010446"],["dc.identifier.isi","000296622300002"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/21580"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Amer Geophysical Union"],["dc.relation.issn","0043-1397"],["dc.title","Effects of dynamically variable saturation and matrix-conduit coupling of flow in karst aquifers"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

For this purpose, a calibration strategy was developed applying the two-region nonequilibrium model CXTFIT. The ambiguity of the model calibration was reduced by first calibrating the model with respect to conservative tracer breakthrough and later transferring conservative transport parameters to the reactive model calibration. The reactive transport parameters were only allowed to be within a defined sensible range to get reasonable calibration values. This calibration strategy was applied to breakthrough curves obtained from a large-scale multitracer test, which was performed in a karst aquifer of the Swabian Alb, Germany. The multitracer test was conducted by the simultaneous injection of uranine, sulforhodamine G, and tinopal CBS-X. The model succeeds to represent the tracer breakthrough curves (TBCs) of uranine and sulforhodamine G and verifies that tracer-rock interactions preferably occur in the immobile fluid region, although the fraction of this region amounts to only 3.5% of the total water. However, the model failed to account for the long tailing observed in the TBC of tinopal CBS-X.
