Processes of Speleogenesis: a Modeling Approach
Dreybrodt W. Gabrovsek F. , Romanov D.
Abstract:
This book draws together the major recent advances in the modeling of karst systems. Based on the dissolution kinetics of limestone, and flow and transport processes in its fractures, it presents a hierarchy of cave genetic situations that range from the enlargement of a single fracture to the evolution of cavernous drainage patterns in confined and unconfined karst aquifers. These results are also applied to the evolution of leakage below dam sites in karst. The book offers a wealth of information that helps to understand the development of cave systems. It addresses geologists, hydrologists, geomorphologists, and geographers. It is also of interest to all scientists and engineers who have responsibilities for groundwater exploration and management in karst terrains. ?Processes of Speleogenesis: a Modeling Approach is an exciting book that brings together and displays the products of the first and second generations of karst cave and aquifer computer modeling in a succinct fashion, with excellent illustrations and stimulating contrasts of approach. It is a ?benchmark? publication that all who are interested in speleogenesis should read. It will be a very useful volume for teaching, not only in karst and hydrogeology, but for others who use computer modeling in the physical and spatial sciences.? (From the foreword by D.C. Ford) ?This book is an extraordinary achievement that warrants close attention by anyone interested in speleogenesis??This book is ideal for researchers in speleogenesis who have a solid grasp in technical aspects. Most of the necessary background information is outlined in the first chapter, but subtle aspects will be clear only to those who already have a good background in geochemistry and computer modeling especially when interpreting the figures. This book is not aimed at groundwater hydrologists, although the results would be eye-opening to anyone in that field who denies the importance of solution conduits in carbonate aquifers.? (From book review by A.N. Palmer, JCKS, Volume 67, No.3, 2005) ?To specialists the book is very helpful and and up-to-date, providing many ideas and answering many questions.? (From book review by P. Hauselmann, Die Hohle, Volume 56, 2005) CONTENTS Introduction Equilibrium chemistry and dissolution kinetics of limestone in H2O-CO2 solutions The evolution of a single fracture Modeling karst evolution on two-dimensional networks: constant head boundary conditions Unconfined aquifers under various boundary conditions Karstification below dam sites Conclusion and future perspectives Bibliography GUEST CHAPTER by Sebastian Bauer, Steffen Birk, Rudolf Liedl and Martin SauterSimulation of karst aquifer genesis using a double permeability approach investigation for confined and unconfined settings GUEST CHAPTER by Georg KaufmannStructure and evolution of karst aquifers: a finite-element numerical modeling approach
