Abstract

In systemizing fluids potentially harmful to groundwater with regard to their migration behaviour, it has been proven useful in groundwater hydrology to divide these into two main groups

$$\text{miscrible}\,\text{with}\,\text{water - immiscible}\,\text{with}\,\text{water}$$

based on fluid dynamics. This division is indispensable since the simultaneous flow of two (or more) immiscible fluids gives a completely different migration pattern than that of the simultaneous flow of fluids miscible with one another. Accordingly, one must fundamentally differentiate between the two types of flow

$$\text{one phase flow - two (multi - ) phase flow}\text{.}$$
