Abstract
Laboratory test results on longitudinal dispersion of soluble material in loose rocks with artificially composed or natural grain-size distributions are compared with one another and with results of field tests. In this way it can be demonstrated that it is quite possible to translate laboratory results to field conditions, if sedimentological properties of the loose materials are comparable, if bedding (geological interfaces) runs parallel to the flow direction and is hydraulically ineffective, and if distances between injection and detection are about less than 50 m. Transverse dispersion is difficult to determine. At first approximation the width of tracer cloud from a line injection was determined and the aperture angle of the resultant cloud calculated. The laboratory and field experiments showed an aperture angle of about 5° on distances between 10 and 2500 m.
