Use of groundwater lifetime expectancy for the performance assessment of a deep geologic radioactive waste repository:2. Application to a Canadian Shield environment
Y. -J. Park, F. J. Cornaton, S. D. Normani +2
Cornaton et al. [2007] introduced the concept of lifetime expectancy as a performance measure of the safety of subsurface repositories, based upon the travel time for contaminants…
Use of groundwater lifetime expectancy for the performance assessment of a deep geologic waste repository: 1. Theory, illustrations, and implications
F. J. Cornaton, Y. -J. Park, S. D. Normani +2
Long-term solutions for the disposal of toxic wastes usually involve isolation of the wastes in a deep subsurface geologic environment. In the case of spent nuclear fuel, if radion…
Analytical modelling of stable isotope fractionation of volatile organic compounds in the unsaturated zone
D. Bouchard, F. Cornaton, P. Höhener +1
Analytical models were developed that simulate stable isotope ratios of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) near a point source contamination in the unsaturated zone. The models desc…
Transient Water Age Distributions in Environmental Flow Systems: The Time-Marching Laplace Transform Solution Technique
F. J. Cornaton
Environmental fluid circulations are very often characterized by analyzing the fate and behavior of natural and anthropogenic tracers. Among these tracers, age is taken as an ideal…
High-resolution truncated plurigaussian simulations for the characterization of heterogeneous formations
Grégroire Mariethoz, Philippe Renard, Fabien Cornaton +1
Integrating geological concepts, such as relative positions and proportions of the different lithofacies, is of highest importance in order to render realistic geological patterns.…
Analytical 1-D dual-porosity equivalent solutions to 3-D discrete single-continuum models. Application to karstic spring hydrograph modelling
F. Cornaton, P. Perrochet
One dimensional analytical porosity-weighted solutions of the dual-porosity model are derived, providing insights on how to relate exchange and storage coefficients to the volumetr…
