| Abstract | We present a theory for the motion of water vapor at depth in a discretely fractured permeable medium induced by atmospheric barometric pressure fluctuations, or ‘barometric pumping’. The theory involves multiphase mass and energy transport in a fracture/matrix system, with discrete representation of the fracture system. The barometric pressure fluctuations are approximated as periodic in time, with amplitude corresponding to measured values. To simplify the analysis, a ‘single-horizon’ approximation is applied in which the time-mean gradient is used to evaluate the vertical advective flux in the fractures. Time-periodic solutions are obtained numerically, enabling the calculation of the net efflux of moisture per cycle. The model is applied to material representative of the Yucca Mountain region of southwestern Nevada. The results indicate that the efflux of moisture carried upward from significant depths by barometric pumping is much less than the near surface efflux that is commonly estimated by assuming that air enters the medium dry and is returned to the atmosphere fully saturated with water vapor. This near surface efflux consists primarily of moisture discharged from the upper layer which is frequently replenished by precipitation. Of greater interest to nuclear waste repository design and estimations of net infiltration in arid regions is the fraction of the total moisture efflux that comes from significant depths. This deep transport is quantified by the fracture/matrix transport model described here. Although the transport by barometric pumping from depth is small compared to the total moisture expelled from the surface layer, it is an order of magnitude greater than the vertical moisture flux carried from depth by diffusion. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
