Biased Estimation of Groundwater Velocity from a Push-Pull Tracer Test Due to Plume Density and Pumping Rate

Abstract: The single-well push-pull tracer test is a convenient and cost-effective tool to estimate hydrogeological properties of a subsurface aquifer system. However, it has a limitation that test results can be affected by various experimental designs. In this study, a series of laboratory-scale push-pull tracer tests were conducted under various conditions controlling input tracer density, pumping rate, drift time, and hydraulic gradient. Based on the laboratory test results, numerical simulations were performed to e… Show more

“…As salt does not undergo phase-partitioning in a groundwater system, entrapment of salt mass into low permeability zones was a possible reason for the mass loss in the SWTT (Kim et al, 2018(Kim et al, , 2019. Y-axis displays the recovery ratio of tracers recorded above the background level.…”
