Analysis of the LNAPL Migration Process in the Vadose Zone under Two Different Media Conditions

This study focused on the processes of free infiltration, precipitation displacement, and natural attenuation of the LNAPL under the condition of near-surface leakage. Sandbox experiments were performed to explore the migration characteristics of LNAPL in the vadose zone with two media structures an...
