abstract = {The local scale dispersion tensor, D-d, is a controlling
parameter for the dilution of concentrations in a solute:
plume that is displaced by groundwater flow in a
heterogeneous aquifer. In this paper, we estimate the local
scale dispersion froth time series or breakthrough curves,
BTCs, of Br- concentrations that were measured at several
pints in a fluvial aquifer during a natural gradient tracer
test at Krauthausen. Locally Measured BTCs were
characterized by equivalent convection dispersion
parameters: equivalent velocity, nu(eq)(x) and expected
equivalent dispersivity, <lambda(eq)(x)>. A Lagrangian
framework was used to approximately predict these equivalent
parameters in terns of the spatial covariance of log(e)
transformed conductivity and the local scale dispersion
coefficient.The approximate Lagrangian theory illustrates
that <lambda(eq)(x)> increases with increasing travel
distance and is much larger than the local scale
dispersivity, lambda(d). A sensitivity analysis indicates
that <lambda(eq)(x)> is predominantly determined by the
transverse component of the local scale dispersion and by
the correlation scale of the hydraulic conductivity in the
transverse to flow direction whereas it is relatively
insensitive to the longitudinal component of the local scale
dispersion. By comparing predicted <lambda(eq)(x)> for a
range of D-d values with <lambda(eq)(x)> obtained from
locally measured BTCs, the transverse component of D-d,
D-dT, was estimated. The estimated transverse local scale
dispersivity, lambda(dT) = D-dT/U-1 (U-1 = mean advection
velocity) is in the order of 10(1)-10(2) mm, which is
relatively large but realistic for the fluvial gravel
sediments at Krauthausen. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All
