Tracer tests have been performed on a 3D tank of dimensions 560×100×100 cm 3. These experiments at laboratory scale are used to define effective hydraulic conductivity and macrodispersivity. The tracer tests have been performed on two kinds of heterogeneous porous material: a channel structured medi...
