摘要: 为揭示海水入侵所驱动的变密度流场对重质非水相液体(dense non-aqueous phase liquids,DNAPL)多相运移路径与相间质量交换的调控机制,本研究以氯苯为例构建变密度流-多相流-溶质运移耦合数值模型,系统模拟其入渗、再分布及溶解羽演化过程.研究结果表明:(1)NAPL相氯苯在重力主导下垂直入渗并在隔水底板形成非对称污染池;(2)咸水楔显著改变溶解相氯苯的运移路径,密度梯度驱动其沿咸淡水界面爬升,并在咸淡水过渡带积聚,且排海通量峰值较无海水入侵情景降低62%;(3)渗透系数K的增大加速NAPL相和溶解相氯苯向海洋边界迁移,同时强化溶解相在咸淡水过渡带的累积.本研究阐明了咸淡水过渡带对DNAPL迁移的截留机制,证实该区域是滨海地下水环境风险评估中不可忽视的长期次生污染源.Abstract: To reveal the regulatory mechanism of the variable-density flow field induced by seawater intrusion on the multiphase migration pathways and interphase mass exchange of dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPL), this study developed a coupled variable-density flow, multiphase flow, and solute transport numerical model using chlorobenzene as an example, systematically simulating its infiltration, redistribution, and dissolved plume evolution. The results indicate follows: (1) The NAPL-phase chlorobenzene vertically infiltrates under gravity-dominated conditions, forming an asymmetric contaminant pool above the aquitard. (2) The saltwater wedge significantly alters the migration pathway of dissolved-phase chlorobenzene, with density gradients driving its upward movement along the freshwater-saltwater interface and accumulation in the mixing zone, while the peak discharge flux to the sea decreased by 62% compared to the scenario without seawater intrusion. (3) An increase in hydraulic conductivity (K) accelerates the migration of both NAPL-phase and dissolved-phase chlorobenzene toward the marine boundary, while enhancing the accumulation of the dissolved phase within the mixing zone. This study elucidates the retention mechanism of the mixing zone for DNAPL migration and confirms that this zone represents a non-negligible long-term secondary pollution source in coastal groundwater environmental risk assessments.
