abstract = {We analyze observed Cl- transport during a large-scale in
situ unsaturated infiltration experiment in terms of the
observation scale of the transport process and the physical
stratification of the Tertiary sedimentary flow domain. By
comparing piston flow and local velocity profiles, we show
that velocity variations cannot be explained by water
content changes alone. We also demonstrate that by comparing
a layered convection - dispersion ( CD) model with the
observations, the dispersivity profile cannot be explained
with the model, which produced unrealistic local
dispersivity values. These discrepancies were partially
explained by nonrepresentative sampling using porous cup
solution samplers (PCS). We hypothesize that fingering flow
or convergence phenomena below sand - clay interfaces leads
to nonrepresentative artificially high dispersivity values.
Velocity and dispersivity values immediately above the clay
layers, however, seem more reliable to convergence and more
lateral mixing induced by a larger water Following the
criteria derived from the Chuoke equation, we show that the
subsoil can be subjected to fingering flow. We found that
this process likely persisted for some 17 yr. Therefore, we
conclude that the fine-textured clayey layers regulated the
flow rate through time, approaching a quasi-steady-state
flow condition. Overall, solute transport processes in the
unsaturated layered subsoil appeared to be very strongly
influenced by stratification of the flow domain. An highly
variable flow field was induced by the clay layers in a
sandy deposit, while the local PCS sampling devices were
likely too small to properly assess the mixing regime at
this large scale.},
