Preferential pathways for fluid and solutes in heterogeneous groundwater systems: self-organization, entropy, work

<p>Patterns of distinct preferential pathways for fluid flow and solute transport are ubiquitous in heterogeneous, saturated and partially saturated porous media. Yet, the underlying reasons for their emergence, and their characterization and quantification, remain enigmatic. Here we analyze s...
