The following text was excerpted from U.S. EPA <strong>Technology</strong> <strong>In</strong>novation Office <strong>Technology</strong><br />

<strong>In</strong>formation Summary <strong>Report</strong>, Oct. 16-31, 1998, page 8:<br />

A laboratory study was designed to investigate how density and viscosity contrasts affected<br />

cosolvent displacements in unconfined porous media characterized by the presence of a capillary<br />

fringe. Two-dimensional flow experiments were conducted to determine potential implications of<br />

flow instabilities in homogeneous sand packs, and numerical simulations were conducted to<br />

investigate the differential impact of fluid property contrasts in confined and unconfined systems.<br />

Test results indicated that the presence of a capillary fringe was an important factor in<br />

displacement efficiency. Buoyancy forces can act to carry a lighter-than-water cosolvent into the<br />

capillary fringe during displacement of the resident groundwater. During subsequent water flooding,<br />

buoyancy forces can trap the cosolvent in the capillary fringe, contributing to the inefficient removal<br />

of cosolvent from the aquifer.<br />
