Image analysis of concentration distribution in two-dimensional sandbox tracer experiment
二维砂箱溶质示踪实验的图像分析法

Dye tracer has been widely used in sandbox experiments of solute transport.This study uses image analysis to determine the concentration of dye tracer in porous media.By establishing a quantitative relationship between the concentration and the hue value of the dye tracer,the concentration distribution of the dye tracer can be quickly obtained.The image analysis provides a cost-effective and high-resolution method to quantify the solute concentration distribution in two-dimensional sandbox experiment for groundwater solute transport studies.Because the range of image hue values is limited,the image analysis method can only be applied to a certain range of solute concentration.
