Tóm tắt

AbstractDetailed characterization of dense nonaqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) source zone architecture (SZA) is essential for designing efficient remediation strategies. However, it is difficult to characterize a highly irregular and localized SZA, because traditional drilling investigations provide limited information. With limited data, the estimation accuracy of traditional geostatistical methods is strongly affected by the parameterization of the prior description of the SZA. To improve characterization performance, we parameterized the DNAPL saturation field using a physics‐based approach. We trained a convolutional variational autoencoder (CVAE) using data from multiphase modeling that captures the physics of DNAPL infiltration. The trained CVAE network was used in SZA inversion to obtain an improved prior DNAPL saturation field, instead of the typical stationary prior covariances. We then integrated the CVAE network into an iterative ensemble smoother (ES), to formulate a joint inversion framework. To overcome difficulties from limited/sparse data, we incorporated hydrogeological and geophysical datasets in the proposed inversion framework. To evaluate the performance of our method, we conducted numerical experiments in a hypothetical heterogeneous aquifer with an intricate SZA. The results show that the CVAE was an effective and efficient parameterization method which can capture the DNAPL infiltration patterns better than a Gaussian prior. The improved prior, combined with multisource datasets, can result in better resolution, and overall improved SZA characterization. In contrast to the standard ES method, the proposed framework reconstructed the SZA more accurately. We also demonstrated that DNAPL depletion behavior and dissolved concentration profiles can be predicted accurately using the estimated SZA.
