A field experiment to study the behavior of tetrachloroethylene in unsaturated porous media

A study examined the effect of source release rate and porous media heterogeneity of pure liquid-phase tetrachloroethylene (PCE). It was demonstrated that immiscible liquid migration in sandy deposits is sensitive to variations in permeability and capillary characteristics.
