how to setup components ... to correct trasfer of unicode blob data ?!
TMemoField, using that ClientDataSet represents NTEXT fields, doesn't provide working with Unicode.
You have to convert manually.

ok... but how exactly ?
TMSQuery.GetBlob().AsWideString -> UTF8String -> ??? -> Provider -> TClientDataSet.FieldByName().AsString -> UTF8 to UNICODE !
which event .. is usefull to encode UNICODE to UTF8 .. to post string from MSQuery through Provider into ClientDataSet ?
Due to MIDAS specificity on transferring data from TMemoField MSQuery to TMemoField ClientDataSet specific Unicode information will be lost.
It is hard to say more exactly, it depends on controls that you use.

FRAMING CONTESTS: WHEN COMPANIES FACE UNCERTAINTY, INTERNAL
DBR | 1호 (2008년 1월)
From Knowledge at Wharton
After riding a wave of unprecedented industry growth and branching into fiber optics products, an established communications technology manufacturer faces the unthinkable: The market takes a sudden turn for the worse, leading to budget cuts and layoffs across companies in the sector. Meanwhile, the firm's R&D lab is pushing for the company to invest in a comprehensive expansion of its high-bandwidth fiber optics network to increase consumer access and drive sales. Others at the company strongly disagree, believing that the market for fiber optics has dried up.
What should the company do?
According to Wharton management professor Sarah Kaplan, the best answer wouldn't be immediately clear, and for good reason: Whereas managers often push for quick, bottom-line analysis when facing uncertainty, it might be more beneficial to encourage employees to champion alternative scenarios, or "frames."
In her research paper titled, "Framing Contests: Strategy Making under Uncertainty," Kaplan details the decision-making process of an actual company (which she calls "CommCorp") as it faced the bursting of the telecommunications bubble in 2001-2002. What she found was that employees interpreted the market's ambiguous signals from their own frames of reference and then engaged in a series of "framing activities to mobilize others around a particular point of view."
Frames that come to predominate and ultimately drive strategy are not the result of static points of view or sheer political maneuvering, but rather emerge from a "dynamic, purposive and politically-charged process ... " Kaplan writes. It's a contest over what strategies should be pursued. Individuals' frames can be transformed along the way, as each actor attempts to gain legitimacy for his or her interpretation, until one frame prevails.
In her analysis of CommCorp, Kaplan writes that she employed observation-based, ethnographic techniques to "uncover 'the soft underbelly' ... of strategy making by looking at what actors did individually and collectively to construct strategic choices." Over eight months in 2002, she studied two key initiatives that were strategic responses to the optical technologies market crash during that time.
To trace how individual frames contributed to strategy decisions, Kaplan looked at specific, key choices that were made in relation to these initiatives, and identified the cognitive frames of the actors involved. "It is ... useful to conceptualize participants' frames as the encoding of a variety of previous experiences -- including individual career histories, project experience, functional membership, position in the hierarchy -- and contexts, including the firm, the industry and the prevailing technological paradigm," Kaplan writes. "Each of these arenas had its own institutional logic that guided views and behavior."
Kaplan's observations at CommCorp suggest that an understanding of the sources of frames elucidates their effect in enabling and constraining an individual's scope of action. One of the initiatives that Kaplan studied, dubbed "Last Mile," calls attention to this dual effect of frames. Hugh, a senior scientist in CommCorp's R&D lab, proposed that the optical market crash should be met with aggressive investment in fiber optic networks to increase consumer access. While Hugh's pro-optical view guided his data collection efforts and presentations, employees outside that particular frame weren't so certain, expressing doubt about whether the larger picture supported his view, or whether there were other, non-optical solutions.
Ultimately, Kaplan notes, Hugh and an associate reframed the project to minimize opposition and build "a coalition of supporters. The final decision was to make a small investment to support a single product line rather than pursue the originally proposed major development project."
Kaplan's analysis of the "Last Mile" initiative reinforces some specific conclusions about framing practices:
-- People have a number of frames to draw upon, built up through past experiences across multiple contexts. These frames shape how they see a situation and what strategies they think a company should pursue.
-- Just as actors have a repertoire of frames, they have "multiple, sometimes conflicting, interests, only some of which (in the CommCorp example) were relevant in a particular decision context. Some interests were tangible, such as getting a promotion or preserving one's job. Other interests were intangible, such as being seen as an expert, gaining peer recognition or working on 'cool projects.' Other interests had a collective aspect, such as a chance to contribute to the project team or support one's own functional group," Kaplan writes.
-- Where frames about a decision don't align within the organization, actors engage in framing practices to increase the resonance of their own frames and mobilize action in a desired direction. Those actors who most skillfully engage in these practices will shape the frame which prevails. Therefore, frames shape strategic choices -- not in a deterministic fashion but rather in one mediated by organizational framing contests.
-- When framing activities are successful, interests can shift, and new coalitions can form. "Coalitions are built around powerful frames (ones which resonate broadly), and powerful coalitions can shape policy," Kaplan notes.
To realize the benefits of framing contests, conflict needs to be encouraged, Kaplan says. Her first rule of thumb? "Absolutely no 'quickie' brainstorming sessions," she says. "People schedule themselves for two hours and expect to have brilliant ideas. It can't happen in one session -- it's a process." Instead, she suggests that managers plan a series of meetings and events that are not tied to regular operating goals, interspersed with periods for new data collection, analysis and reflection.
In terms of developing new frames and seeing the world in new ways, Kaplan suggests that managers "experience new data, instead of just reading about things. Go out into the world and look at things differently -- visit a company that does something completely different from yours but has some common threads. Visit other divisions of your company to see what other frames are operating."
Finally, Kaplan suggests that CEOs not always push for a quick answer or "the bottom line." "Take time to find out what the alternate scenarios are," she says. "This may appear to be deeply inefficient, but in fact going slow up front might help you go faster down the line."

A Full-Body Scan for the US Empire
By Phil Rockstroh
Editor's Note: Even as the U.S. government expands its abilities to pry into the secrets of everyone on the planet, American officials are fuming over the exposure of their own secrets in the recent release of thousands of classified documents by WikiLeaks.
In this guest essay, poet Phil Rockstroh examines the ruling elite's expectations of favorable double standards:
As many wags have noted, the disclosures of WikiLeaks have subjected the U.S. Empire and its operatives to their own version of a full-body scan.
Turnaround is fair play, because, until now, in the U.S., the powerless masses are subject to arbitrary pat downs and body scans, while the powerful and connected are massaged by privilege and ensconced in immunity. (Many are spared the indignities of the security line.)
In hindsight, one realizes, when the Obama administration promised transparency and accountability in government, National Security State enabler that Barack Obama has proven himself to be, that his administration's definition of transparency would entail the countenancing of said body scans at the nation's airports, revealing the private bits of the hoi polloi, as, all the while, his administration was engaged in stonewalling the hidden agendas and felonies of the corporate and governing elite.
Recent events should remove any doubt regarding who stands exposed and who will remain cloaked by official aegis.
Unlike Julian Assange at WikiLeaks, when the Democratic Congress had the opportunity to create an atmosphere of openness and transparency, they demurred. Once granted positions of authority, the Democrats didn't exercise their constitutionally granted powers to initiate investigations, hold hearings, nor issue subpoenas regarding actions of George W. Bush's administration.
This failure of will and integrity amounts to complicity by omission. Withal, Democrats gave their tacit support and approval to the last administration's (as well as to the present one's continuation of more of the same) constitution-shredding, morally repugnant policies.
On most occasions, existing within the tacit repression and the benumbing, virtual reality carnival of the corporate/National Security State leaves an individual with a sense of being stranded in anonymity … cast into circumstances wherein one feels the necessity to follow the unspoken dictates of a nebulous form of authority that remains hidden, both by physical distance and organizational insularity.
In contrast, when one is introduced to the apparatus of the National Security State, by means of a full body search, this unnerving intrusion upon the body can bring clarity to the mind as to how the elite and apparatchik of the U.S. government regard that mass annoyance known as its citizenry and any quaint notions those wretches clutch pertaining to their constitutional granted rights and liberties.
These present outrages will flare up and spiral through the news cycle. Yet, the practices will remain in place, and, after a time, become normalized.
This has proven to be the case with other previously revealed excesses of the so-call "war on terror" and the attendant assaults against civil liberties and breaches of international law incurred in the name of this ongoing, seemingly endless, national psychotic episode e.g., the existence of the "detention camp" at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the illegal invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan and those operations concomitant litany of war crimes and affronts to human dignity, such as the acts of torture committed at Abu Ghraib prison -- as well as -- the whole blood-sodden laundry list of outrages and excesses of present-day U.S. imperium.
If there is any hope for the U.S. to ever function as a democratic republic, the revelations, unearthed by WikiLeaks, should constitute the beginning of a long, painful process of grim discovery.
First, one must ask: Why is it the corporate media is so deeply invested in promulgating distracting and miss-the-point narratives, hyper-adrenaline arguments of narrowed context and little consequence -- and, in general, trafficking in piffle packaged as news and public debate -- rather than showing even a passing interest, much less an avidity, for the pursuit of stories that confront power and might present a challenge to the present order?
As with any criminal enterprise, the essential question to ask is: who benefits from the crime (and the subsequent cover-up) and who gets the payoff?
Although most of human existence is constituted by ambiguity, this situation is not. The evidence of war crimes and fiscal malfeasance committed by the nation's political and financial elite are so pervasive that it cannot be missed, and that is precisely the reason the corporate media, as well as a large percentage of the general public, works so hard to ignore the situation.
Lord Northcliffe's aphorism provides a clue:
"News is what somebody somewhere wants to suppress; all the rest is advertising." ~ Lord Northcliffe, British publisher 1865-1922
Accordingly, at present, there arrives a paucity of news, but, hour after hour, comes a drowning deluge of advertising. Enveloped in this commercially dominated hologram, on a cultural basis, it has proven difficult to arrive at a common lexicon to tell the tale of truths buried and freedoms imperiled.
The weightless, insubstantial quality of the consumer age engenders a state of mind wherein consequences cannot be grasped then processed. As a result, a sense of drift prevails. Yet below the surface churns a nebulous dread -- a feeling of being propelled towards a time of unbearable reckoning.
But such enervating thoughts must be banished from the mind; hence, amnesia, as a way of life, becomes the prevailing mindset of psyches minted in the media age hologram i.e., a manner of perceiving the world in which official accountability becomes as evanescent as last season's advertising campaign roll-out.
Voting for "change" becomes as meaningless and inconsequential as the introduction of Coke "Classic" and "Be all you can be." The U.S. might as well have election campaigns in which the Michelin Man runs against the Energizer Bunny.
By means of its inherently self-narrowing context, the lingua franca of the media hologram reduces complex and conflicted human aspirations into consumer choices -- and the vastness of life to retail experience, as, simultaneously, its proliferate narratives envelop, saturate and bind to the architecture of our psyches becoming the quanta of our thoughts and the shared lexicon of our utterances.
Living in this milieu, that is as manic as it is mind-grinding, decisions must be made rapidly, with little time allowed for reflection (decision-making carrying no more depth and lasting meaning than a text message vote by cell phone involving some contrived Reality TV competition) because the proliferation of empty, non-choices just keeps being proffered and the rate of arrival keeps accelerating.
Tragically, in this environment, the recent WikiLeaks revelations will be marginalized in the electronic image-crowded air and quickly dissipate like any other media-age phantom.
Yet the U.S. consumer state's infantilized inhabitants will never transfigure the raging Furies of truth-deferred into cooing Teletubbies of endless, imagined innocence (albeit, as terrifying as those homunculi of hell-bound cuteness are). The childishness of U.S. Uber-culture seems the voice of Orwellian Newspeak as it might have been composed by Dr. Seuss, in a fever delirium, dreaming he is Glenn Beck.
Often, it is not the content of what a cartoonish demagogue, such as Beck, is saying; rather, it is the way they say it -- the emotional tonality of the line reading that resonates with their audience.
Apropos, the U.S. is a depressing place nowadays. Viewed in the context of emotional catharsis, Glenn Beck's crying jags and feigned emotional disclosures resonate with his audience because there is much reason to weep regarding the degraded state of their lives.
In an era where policies of official secrecy and corporatist predation meet little resistance, dread and feelings of dislocation will be present just below the surface. If one listens to the subliminal criteria playing out beneath Beck's bathos, one can hear inadvertent arias intimating the end of empire -- a cheese-bag death-swoon -- operatic in scale.
What is lamentable is -- the emotional and intellectually dishonest, demagogic displacements he attributes to the cause of his audience's discontent and the sleight of hand employed to create the illusion of truths revealed.
"Passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to an empty life."
--Eric Hoffer
This is the price paid when one affords scant deference to self-awareness, but, in contrast, possesses an unflagging fealty to the pursuit of shallow diversions and self-limiting delusion … All maintained by the crackpot casuistry, elevated to an art form, if not holy writ, in the U.S., that willful ignorance is a form of freedom of choice, that normalcy is maintained by official cover-ups and personal denial.
The system is rigged, from top to bottom; it is only through an astonishing (almost credulity-defying) degree of self-deception on the part of the general public of the U.S., in collaboration with the mendacity of its political and economic elite, this dim, brutal, unwieldy and wounded system continues to stagger onward.
Lamentably, the U.S. Empire, as was the case with any imperium throughout history, has grown into a bloated abomination kept provisionally alive by self-deluded apparatchik and ignorant killers. What can one do about the situation, other than try to get out of the way of this wounded giant and stand clear upon its inevitable collapse? Unfortunately, damn little.
The structure of the revolving door dynamic of the governmental/corporate exploiter class has allowed the elite therein to escape any sense of accountability.
In addition, their vastly inflated salaries, with attendant perks and privileges, have separated them even further from the general population; hence, providing them with immunity from consequences, as well as, insularity from commonplace experience; thus, allowing them to embrace the most airless of aspirations -- that greed, grotesquely out of proportion privilege, and unchecked power run riot constitutes a viable means to move in the world and establish a social order.
"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy — They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made […]" F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
Among the political elite of both major parties come few calls for the kind of disclosure and official accountability that could stem the decline of the nation.
Facing the fact that, in the U.S., there is not a true opposition party causes many people in the general population to become understandably angry, anxious, and depressed, thereby primed for pronouncements of demagogues and the diversions of commercial media palliatives.
"What WikiLeaks is doing is to short-circuit this entire democratic process — claiming for itself the exclusive, unilateral, and unchecked power to decide what should and shouldn't be made public. This is therefore not only an attack on our national security, but an offense against our democracy and the principle of transparency."
--Senator Joseph Lieberman, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee
If one could cut through the thicket of false premises, logical fallacies, false dichotomies, arrays of strawmen, general flutter-headed palaver, and out-and-out paranoid fantasy marshaled by the caretakers and apologists of the present system, I would ask this question -- why is it you are driven with such vehemence to defend and attempt to preserve the current order?
As it is, it seems the nation is being held together with hydrogenated fat, wheat gluten, payday loans, Tyvek®, particleboard, and the provisional binding of homespun bigotry and official duplicity.
And what remains? How does one rise to meet the day confronted by such diminished prospects and prevailing degradations? Is there solace to be found in the following?
"It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." -- Samuel Adams
Sadly, in the provinces beyond the Washington/New York government/corporate state nexus, it may well be impossible to start an authentic populist brushfire when the political landscape is covered in flame-retardant, corporate-laid Astroturf.
Still: It would be entertaining, in the very least, to rock the foundation of the U.S. House of Empire with the repeated force of numerous WikiLeaks-type revelations, until its closet doors are flung open wide, causing the skeletons within to dance.

Q: Make image align with paragraph text in padding This is what it looks like, and the arrow kind of shows where I wish for the image to be.

my html code

Husk dit helbred!

Projekt arbejde er vigtigt, men ikke lige så vigtigt som dit helbred! Husk at drikke vand, at spise noget og at tage en masse pauser. Du bliver mere produktiv, hvis du skaber et sundt forhold til dit studie arbejde og helbred. Det var alt fra mig, held og lykke med jeres mange fremtide projekter!

my css code
.underline {
    text-decoration: underline;
}

    .box2 img{
      position: right;
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
  }

    .box2 {
      margin: 0 auto;
      margin-right: 20%;
      margin-left: 20%;
        margin-top: 20px;
        background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
        padding: 15px;
        height: 50%;

    }

    p {
      width: 300px;
    }

I tried float as well but that takes it out of the padding.

I also tried vertical align

A: You could achieve it in several ways, using float, flex or position for example.
Here an example with float

.underline {
  text-decoration: underline;
  clear: both;
}

.box2 img {
  float: right;
}

.box2 {
  width: 100%;
}

p {
  width: 300px;
  float: left;
}

Husk dit helbred!

    og lykke med jeres mange fremtide projekter!

A: With floats the document order must be reversed. If you don't like that, consider using flexbox instead, with the paragraph and the image being children in a flex row.
Here are both options demonstrated.

.underline {
  text-decoration: underline;
}

.box2 img {
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  margin-left: 10px;
}

img.float-right {
  float: right;
}

.box2 {
  margin: 0 auto;
  margin-right: 20%;
  margin-left: 20%;
  margin-top: 20px;
  background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
  padding: 15px;
  height: 50%;
}

p.sized {
  width: 300px;
}

.flex-row {
  display: flex;
}

.flex-row p:first-child {
  margin-top: 0;
}

Husk dit helbred!

      held og lykke med jeres mange fremtide projekter!

A: You can use the (flexbox) on the parent of the childrens then use (justify-content: space between), like the example below:

.underline {
  text-decoration: underline;
}

.box2 img {
  position: right;
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
}

.box2 {

  margin-left: 20%;
  margin-top: 20px;
  background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
  padding: 15px;
  height: 50%;
  display:flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
}

p {
  width: 300px;
}

Husk dit helbred!

A: Use float, not position. Use this CSS. I hope it will help you.
 .underline {
  text-decoration: underline;
}

.box2 img {
  float: right;

  height: 200px;
}

.box2 {

  margin-right: 20%;
  margin-left: 20%;
  margin-top: 20px;
  background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
  padding: 15px;
  height: 50%;
}

p {
  width: 300px;
  float: left;
}

A:

.underline {
  text-decoration: underline;
  grid-column: 1/3;
  grid-row: 1/2;
}

.box2 img {
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  grid-column: 2/3;
  grid-row: 2/3;
}

.box2 {
  margin: 20px 20%;
  background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
  padding: 15px;
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: min(1fr, 300px) 1fr;
  grid-template-rows: min-content min-content;
  gap: 15px;
  box-shadow: 0 0 100px rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);
}

p {
  text-indent: 2em;
  margin: 0;
  grid-column: 1/2;
  grid-row: 2/3;
}

A: All I had to do was move my img above the p, example:
so instead of this:

Back in 2012 you could not escape an infectious cover version of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's The Power of Love. It featured on the John Lewis Christmas advert, was on heavy rotation on television and radio, and topped the charts around the world.
Now, three years later, its singer, Gabrielle Aplin is releasing her second album, Light Up the Dark.
The new album was inspired by Joni Mitchell and the production on The Reminder album by indie artist Feist.
The album, the follow-up to Aplin's 2013 debut LP English Rain, sees her team up with members of Irish folk-rockers Hudson Taylor and blues rock band The Temperance Movement.
Both intimate and expansive, the songs, some of which Aplin says "are technically the demos", have the feel of being written from the head and the heart.
Among the album's highlights are the synthesised brass stabs and pounding piano track Skeleton; Fools Love, which was inspired by a Christmas trip to New Orleans; Shallow Love, a gospel-inspired ballad; and Heavy Heart, a bluesy groove.
"I've just seen stuff, and I wanted to write about more stuff," explains Aplin.
"The more you play the better you get.
Before signing to Parlophone Records, Aplin set up her own label to release music aged 15. But her breakthrough came at the age of just 19 with her interpretation of The Power of Love for that John Lewis Christmas advert.
Aplin was recently signed up by the Storm modelling agency. This is another area where she wants to maintain her artistic integrity.
"It's not like I want to go and be a model or anything. They'll only ever book me to do something that reflects me and fits my music."

Cun in China PRINT VERSION:
The Cun have only been reported in China

Cun
The Cun (Village) people have been officially included as part of the Han Chinese nationality by the central government, even though their language is considered a dialect of the Ha Li language. Note that the speakers of the Lingao language in northern Hainan also refer to their language as the "village (Cun) language." Chinese scholars have named that language Lingao to avoid confusion.
One linguist has noted, "There are numerous Han Chinese nationality members around Changcheng on the west coast who speak Cunhua 'village language' which is one of the four Ha dialects of Li."1 There is some confusion regarding the exact linguistic affiliation of Cun. One respected source classifies it as "Sino-Tibetan, Zhuang-Dong" and describes it as "a separate language that resembles Li." Others have placed Cun in the Li- Laqua branch of the Kadai language family. Cun - which has ten tones - also contains many Chinese loanwords. The majority of Cun are bilingual in the Hainanese dialect of Chinese.
The Cun were originally Han Chinese people who migrated to Hainan Island and intermingled with the Li people. After many centuries they developed their own language and ethnic identity.
The Cun are simple-hearted people. They are extremely poor and do not wear a traditional dress unique to their people. Their main concerns are for the welfare of their families and the annual success of their crops.
Most Cun are animists, but religion does not take a very important role in their daily lives.
Although most Cun live in complete spiritual darkness and neglect, promising signs have occurred in recent years. In 1994 a Hong Kong-based mission gave Bible training to several Cun. When they first came to the course the middleaged students had never heard of God, but the Holy Spirit found their hearts fertile ground for his Word. After three months the Cun were filled with Christ's peace and love and were desperate to return immediately to their own people to tell them the way to salvation. They did this, and met with immediate success. Many of their family members and fellow villagers were overjoyed to hear the news that Christ died for their sins. By 1998 there were three or four churches among the Cun.

\section{Introduction}\label{a1}

The coefficients of dispersion and dispersivity appear in the expression for the
flux, $\bf J$, of a solute in saturated flow through porous media. Here, a porous
medium domain is one that is made up of two parts: a solid matrix and a void-space
completely occupied by one or more fluid phases. The void-space is interconnected,
thus allowing fluid flow through it \cite{be72}. Both parts are distributed over the
entire porous medium domain. We study the transport of a solute dissolved in a fluid
phase. At every point within the fluid, a solute concentration, $\gamma$, and a
fluid velocity, $\bf V$, can be identified. A mathematical model describing the
solute's transport within the void space requires information on the fluid-solid
interface that bounds the fluid occupied domain. However, in natural materials, such
as soil and fractured rock, this information is not available. Therefore, the
problem of solute transport is usually described in terms of averaged velocity,
$\overline {\bf V}$, and averaged solute concentration, $\overline\gamma$. These
averaged values, taken over some representative elementary volume, are assigned to
every point in the porous medium domain.

With the total (advective) solute flux at a point inside the void-space defined
by $\gamma{\bf V}$, and at a point in the porous medium domain, regarded as a
continuum, defined by $\overline\gamma\overline{\bf V}$, we have \cite{be72},
\[
\overline{\gamma{\bf V}} = {\overline\gamma}{\overline{\bf V}}+\overline{\gamma'
{\bf V}'},\quad\mbox{where}\quad \gamma'=\gamma-\overline{\gamma},\quad
{\bf V}'={\bf V}-\overline{{\bf V}},
\]
are deviations from the average values, with $\overline{\gamma'}=\overline{{\bf
V}'}=0$. The above equality states that the total flux of the solute at a point in
the porous medium domain, is made up of an advective flux (= product of average
concentration and average velocity), and another flux, called dispersive flux, equal
to the average of the product of the two deviations, ${\bf J}= \overline{\gamma'{\bf
V}'}$.

The above discussion can be extended to any extensive quantity, with $\gamma$
representing its intensive quantity. Thus, the phenomenon of dispersion occurs
whenever an extensive quantity  (mass of a solute, in the example considered above)
is transported in a fluid phase that flows in the void space of a porous medium. It
is a consequence of using an average velocity and average concentration to describe
the advective flux of the solute in the void space. The total flux is the sum of the
advective flux and the dispersive one. In this article, we use the  mass of
dissolved chemical species as the considered extensive quantity. For short, we
denote the average values: $\overline{\gamma}=c$, $\overline{{\bf V}}={\bf U}$.

The coefficient of dispersion, $D_{ij}$, is a symmetric tensor of 2nd rank, which
appears in the Fickian-type expression for the dispersive flux of a solute (mass of
solute per unit area of void space in a cross-section of the porous medium)
\cite{be72},
  \begin{eqnarray}
  J_i=-\sum_{j=1}^3D_{ij}\nabla_j c,\quad D_{ij}=D_{ji},\quad i,j=1,2,3\,
  \label{q1}
  \end{eqnarray}
where $J_i$ denotes the $i$th component of the solute's 3-dim flux vector,
${\bf J}$, and $c$ is the solute's average concentration. Equation (\ref{q1})
is valid for the general case of any anisotropic porous medium, with isotropic
media as a special case.

In contrast to similar linear flux laws, e.g., Ohm's and Fourier's laws, with
corresponding tensorial coefficients of electroconductivity, $\sigma_{ij}$, and of
thermoconductivity, $\lambda_{ij }$, respectively, which depend only on properties
of the considered medium, here, in the case of the dispersive flux in saturated flow
through a porous medium, the dispersion tensor $D_{ij}$ depends also on the fluid's
average velocity ${\bf U}$ in the void space \cite{be61},
 \begin{eqnarray}
 D_{ij}=\frac1{U}\sum_{k,l=1}^3a_{ijkl}\;U_kU_l,\quad\;\;\;{\bf U}^2=\sum_{k=1}
^3 U_k^2,\quad\;\;\;{\bf U}^2=U^2,\label{q2} \end{eqnarray}
where $a_{ijkl}$ is a property, called dispersivity, of the porous medium only, and
$U_i$ is the $i$th component of the fluid's average velocity vector $\bf U$. The
dispersivity, is a 4th rank tensor, with intrinsic symmetry $\left[V^2\right]^2$ in
Jahn notations \cite{ja49}
   \begin{eqnarray}
\left[V^2\right]^2\;:\;\;a_{ijkl}=a_{ijlk}\;,\;\;\;\;a_{ijkl}=a_{jikl}.
   \label{q3}
    \end{eqnarray}

Additional simplifications in dealing with the dispersivity tensor can be obtained
by making use of certain auxiliary algebraic relations among its components. These
relations appear under the action of the crystallographic point symmetry group
${\cal G}\subset {\cal O}(3)$ of the porous medium that makes some (not all) of the
36 elements of $a_{ijkl}$ survive, or at least independent of the remaining ones.
According to \cite{ss84}, the decrease in the number $N({\cal G})$ of
$a_{ijkl}$-components is significant when we increase the symmetry, i.e.,
  \begin{eqnarray}
N({\cal C}_1)=36\;\rightarrow\;\ldots\;\rightarrow\;N({\cal D}_{2h})=12\;
\rightarrow\;N({\cal D}_{4h})=7\;\rightarrow\;N({\cal D}_{\infty h})=6\;
\rightarrow\;N({\cal O}(3))=2.\label{q3a}
    \end{eqnarray}

In thermodynamics, the rate of entropy production, $\sigma$, is related to the
thermodynamic driving force, ${\bf X}$, and to the thermodynamic flux, ${\bf
Y}$. According to \cite{gm62}, two vectors ${\bf X}$ and ${\bf Y}$ are
considered conjugated if they obey the relationship
  \begin{eqnarray}
    \sigma=\sum_{i=1}^3Y_iX_i.\label{q4}
      \end{eqnarray}
In the case considered here, the dispersive flux of the solute, ${\bf J}$, is driven
by ${\bf \nabla} c$, which acts as a `driving force.'  In other words, ${\bf X}=g
\,{\bf \nabla} c$ and ${\bf Y}=g \, {\bf J}$, where $g$ denotes a (dimensional)
scalar parameter, which depends on the considered transport phenomenon. In this
case, the rate of entropy production is expressed by
 \begin{eqnarray}
  \sigma=g^2\sum_{i,j=1}^3D_{ij}\;\nabla_i c\;\nabla_j c.\label{q5}
     \end{eqnarray}

By requiring that the quadratic form (\ref{q5}) be positive definite, we derive
the following constraints on the $D_{ij}$-matrix,
 \begin{eqnarray}
  D_{ii}> 0,\;\;\det\left\{\!\begin{array}{ll}\!D_{11}&D_{12}\\
  \!D_{21}&D_{22}\end{array}\!\right\}> 0,\;\;
   \det\left\{\!\begin{array}{ll}D_{11}&D_{13}\\ D_{31}&D_{33}\end{array}\!
    \right\}> 0,\;\;\det\left\{\!\begin{array}{ll}D_{22}& D_{23}
     \\D_{23}&D_{33}\end{array}\!\right\}> 0,\;\;
      \det D_{ij}> 0.\nonumber
 \end{eqnarray}
The above constraints hold irrespective of the fluid's averaged velocity ${\bf
U}$. Furthermore, by (\ref{q2}), they provide another set of constraints
imposed on elements of the dispersivity tensor, $a_{ijkl}$. Such straightforward
way to establish these constraints is not effective, since it requires a lot of
routine algebra and does not prevent repetitive inequalities. In section
\ref{a4}, we shall present a much more effective method for deriving the sought
constraints.

In the meantime, let us estimate the total number of such inequalities. Making
use of the 2-dim matrix representation of the $a_{ijkl}$-tensor \cite{ss84},
one can show that the number $M({\cal G})$ of such constraints decreases also
with growth of the symmetry ${\cal G}$ of the porous medium,
 \begin{eqnarray}
M({\cal C}_1)=63\;\rightarrow\;\ldots\;\rightarrow\;M({\cal D}_{2h})=10\;
\rightarrow\;M({\cal D}_{4h})=7\;\rightarrow\;M({\cal D}_{\infty h})=6\;
\rightarrow\;M({\cal O}(3))=2.\label{q3b}
   \end{eqnarray}
\section{The Tensor $a_{ijkl}$ in a Porous Medium with Uniaxial Symmetry}
\label{a2}

In this section, we study the 3-dim tensor $a_{ijkl}$ whose components depend only
on porous medium properties, actually, for saturated flow, only on the geometry of
the medium's void space. We shall focus on porous media with uniaxial symmetry. Our
interest in this kind of porous medium is motivated by two reasons. First, in
saturated flow in ground water geological formations, called aquifers, the porous
medium comprising the latter is often axially symmetric \cite{ma86}, with a vertical
axis, e.g., in a layered aquifer. On the other hand, four decades of continuing
discussions (see \cite{li02} and references therein) on explicit expressions of the
tensors $a_{ijkl}$ and $D_{ ij}$ in porous media with uniaxial symmetry have not
provided any rigorous analysis of these entities.

Instead of a 2-dim matrix representation of the $a_{ijkl}$-tensor, presented in
\cite{ss84}, we suggest another representation, which originates in the theory of
uniaxial nematic liquid crystals (LC). The underlying idea is that when we compare
the $a_{ijkl}$-tensor with the 4th rank viscosity tensor, $\eta_{ijkl}$, of a
uniaxial LC, its intrinsic symmetry is $\left[\left[V^2\right]^2\right]$, i.e.,
slightly `stronger' than (\ref{q3}), with,
  \begin{eqnarray}
\left[\left[V^2\right]^2\right]\;:\;\quad\eta_{ijkl}=\eta_{ijlk},\quad
\eta_{ijkl}=\eta_{jikl},\quad \eta_{ijkl}=\eta_{klij}.\label{q6}
     \end{eqnarray}

According to \cite{l86}, the known representation of $\eta_{ijkl}$ is
  \begin{eqnarray}
\eta_{ijkl}&=&\eta_1\delta_{ij}\delta_{kl}+\eta_2\left(\delta_{ik}\delta_{jl}+
\delta_{il}\delta_{jk}\right)+\eta_{34}\left(e_ie_j\delta_{kl}+e_ke_l\delta_{ij}
\right)\nonumber\\
&& + \eta_5\left(e_ie_k\delta_{jl}+e_je_k\delta_{il}+e_ie_l\delta_{jk}+e_je_l
\delta_{ik}\right)+\eta_6e_ie_je_ke_l,  \label{q7}
    \end{eqnarray}
in which the $e_i$'s denote the three components of the unit vector ${\bf e}$,
along the symmetry axis of the medium.

From (\ref{q7}), it follows that there exists only one term, $(e_ie_j\delta_{
kl}+e_k e_l\delta_{ij})$, which  reduces its intrinsic symmetry: $\left[\left[
V^2\right]^2\right]\to\left[V^2\right]^2$, after decomposition of this term into
two separate terms: $e_ie_j\delta_{kl}$ and $e_ke_l\delta_{ij}$. This explains
why, in accordance with (\ref{q3b}), the tensor  $a_{ijkl}$ has six independent
moduli and how to construct its most generic form:
 \begin{eqnarray}
a_{ijkl}&=&a_1\;\delta_{ij}\delta_{kl}+\frac{a_2}{2}\left(\delta_{ik}\delta_{jl}
+\delta_{il}\delta_{jk}\right)+a_3\;e_ie_j\delta_{kl}+a_4\;e_ke_l\delta_{ij}+
\nonumber\\
&&\frac{a_5}{2}\left(e_ie_k\delta_{jl}+e_je_k\delta_{il}+e_ie_l\delta_{jk}+
  e_je_l\delta_{ik}\right)+a_6\;e_ie_je_ke_l.\label{q8}
    \end{eqnarray}
Note that by making $e_i\to 0$ in (\ref{q8}), we obtain the dispersivity tensor
for an isotropic porous medium,
   \begin{eqnarray}
a_{ijkl}=a_1\delta_{ij}\delta_{kl}+\frac{a_2}{2}\left(\delta_{ik}\delta_{jl}+
\delta_{il}\delta_{jk}\right).\label{q9}
    \end{eqnarray}

The axisymmetric tensor (\ref{q8}) has to be supplemented by a set of
constraints that results from the thermodynamic requirement imposed on the
rate of entropy production, $\sigma$, defined in  (\ref{q5}).

\section{The Tensor $D_{ij}$ in a Porous Medium with Uniaxial Symmetry}
\label{a3}

In this section, we consider the 3-dim tensor $D_{ij}$ and certain interesting
related phenomena. Based on (\ref{q2}) and (\ref{q8}), we rewrite this tensor as
  \begin{eqnarray}
   UD_{ij}=a_1{\bf U}^2\delta_{ij}+a_2U_iU_j+a_3{\bf U}^2e_ie_j+a_4\langle {\bf e},
{\bf U}\rangle^2\delta_{ij}+a_5\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle(U_ie_j+e_iU_j)+a_6\langle{\bf e},
{\bf U}\rangle^2 e_ie_j,\label{q10}
     \end{eqnarray}
where $\langle{\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle$ denotes a scalar product of the two vectors:
${\bf e}$ and ${\bf U}$.

It is interesting to note that Batchelor \cite{ba46}, in his work on
axisymmetric turbulence, derived a general expression for $D_{ij}$ that is
based on five tensorial terms: $e_ie_j$, $\delta_{ij}$, $U_iU_j$, $U_ie_j$,
$U_je_i$, and four scalar functions, $C_i({\bf U},{\bf e})$,
 \begin{eqnarray}
   UD_{ij}=C_1({\bf U},{\bf e})e_ie_j+C_2({\bf U},{\bf e})\delta_{ij}+
C_3({\bf U}, {\bf e})U_iU_j+C_4({\bf U},{\bf e})(U_ie_j+U_je_i).\label{q11}
    \end{eqnarray}

Keeping in mind that there exist only two quadratic-in-$U$ scalar invariants,
$U^2$ and $\langle{\bf U},{\bf e}\rangle^2$, and only one linear-in-$U$ scalar
invariant, $\langle{\bf U},{\bf e}\rangle$, we can verify the equivalence of the two
expressions, (\ref{q10}) and (\ref{q11}), by noting that
 \begin{eqnarray}
  C_1({\bf U},{\bf e})=a_3U^2+a_6\langle {\bf U},{\bf e}\rangle^2,\;C_2({\bf U},
{\bf e})=a_1U^2+a_4\langle {\bf U},{\bf e}\rangle^2,\;C_3({\bf U},{\bf e})=a_2,\;
C_4({\bf U}, {\bf e})=a_5\langle {\bf U},{\bf e}\rangle.\nonumber
 \end{eqnarray}

We introduce the two 6-dim vectors, ${\bf D}_6$ and ${\bf a}_6$,
 \begin{eqnarray}
{\bf D}_6=\{D_{11},D_{22},D_{33},D_{12},D_{23},D_{31}\},\quad {\bf a}_6=\{
a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_5,a_6\},\label{q12}
     \end{eqnarray}
and denote their transposed counterpartners by ${\bf D}_6^T$ and ${\bf a}_6^T$.
Next, we rewrite (\ref{q10}) in the form
  \begin{eqnarray}
  {\bf D}_6^T=\frac1{U}\;\Delta_1\left({\bf U},{\bf e}\right)\cdot {\bf a}_6^T,
  \label{q13}
     \end{eqnarray}
where the $6\times 6$ matrix $\Delta_1\left({\bf U},{\bf e}\right)$ is defined as
\begin{eqnarray} \Delta_1\left({\bf U},{\bf e}\right)=\left\{\begin{array}{cccccc} {\bf U}^2&
U_1^2&e_1^2{\bf U}^2&\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle^2&2\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle e_1U_1&
\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle^2e_1^2\\
{\bf U}^2&U_2^2&e_2^2{\bf U}^2&\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle^2&2\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}
\rangle e_2U_2&\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle^2e_2^2\\
{\bf U}^2&U_3^2&e_3^2{\bf U}^2&\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle^2&2\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}
\rangle e_3U_3&\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle^2e_3^2\\
0&U_1U_2&e_1e_2{\bf U}^2&0&\langle{\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle(U_1e_2+e_1U_2)&\langle {\bf e},
{\bf U}\rangle^2e_1e_2\\
0&U_2U_3&e_2e_3{\bf U}^2&0&\langle{\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle(U_2e_3+e_2U_3)&\langle {\bf e},
{\bf U}\rangle^2e_2e_3\\
0&U_3U_1&e_3e_1{\bf U}^2&0&\langle{\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle(U_3e_1+e_3U_1)&\langle {\bf e},
{\bf U}\rangle^2e_3e_1\end{array}\right\}.
   \label{q14}
      \end{eqnarray}

Equation (\ref{q13}) opens the way to the derivation of the 6 dispersivity
$a_i$-moduli from values of $D_{ij}$. The latter can be obtained from
experimental measurements, assuming that the symmetry axis ${\bf e}$ is known,
and so is the velocity ${\bf U}$, in an appropriate reference frame, $x_1,x_2,
x_3$. However, a straightforward calculation shows that the matrix $\Delta_1
\left({\bf U},{\bf e}\right)$ is degenerated,
 \begin{eqnarray}
  \det \Delta_1\left({\bf U},{\bf e}\right)=0,\quad \mbox{rank}\;\Delta_1
    \left({\bf U},{\bf e}\right)=4\;. \label{q15}
     \end{eqnarray}
Equality (\ref{q15}) leads to two most important consequences and raises a
question:
\begin{enumerate}
\item At most, four independent components $D_{ij}$ can be obtained from a
 single experiment. The remaining two $D_{ij}$'s are linearly representable by
 the first four.
\item One cannot get all six dispersivity $a_i$-moduli  from a single
  experiment.
\item How many experiments do we have to perform in order to obtain all six
$a_i$-values?
\end{enumerate}
In what follows, we shall demonstrate that two different experiments suffice for
obtaining all six  $a_i$-values. We consider two cases (= experiments):
\begin{enumerate}
\item $U_1=0$, $U_2=U_3=u$ and $e_1=1$, $e_2=e_3=0$. Then,
\begin{eqnarray}
D_{11}=2(a_1+a_3)u,\quad D_{22}=D_{33}=(2a_1+a_2)u, \quad D_{23}=a_2u,\quad
  D_{12}=D_{31}=0.\label{b14a}
 \end{eqnarray}
 The above relationships provide three moduli: $a_1$, $a_2$ and
$a_3$.
\item $U_1=U_2=u$, $U_3=0$ and $e_1=1$, $e_2=e_3=0$. Then,
\begin{eqnarray}
&&D_{11}=(2a_1+a_2+2a_3+a_4+2a_5+a_6)u,\quad D_{12}=(a_2+a_5)u,\label{b14}\\
&&D_{22}=(2a_1+a_2+a_4)u,\quad D_{33}=(2a_1+a_4)u,\quad D_{23}=D_{31}=0\;.
\nonumber
 \end{eqnarray}
\end{enumerate}
The above relations provide three additional moduli: $a_4$, $a_5$ and $a_6$.

Thus, by two experiments, with different setups of ${\bf U}$, and a known
${\bf e}$, we have obtained the entire set of  6 dispersivity moduli in a 3-dim
saturated porous medium with uniaxial symmetry.

\subsection{The Tensor $D_{ij}$ in an Isotropic Porous Medium}\label{a31}

For an isotropic porous medium, instead of (\ref{q10}), we have
 \begin{eqnarray}
   UD_{ij}=a_1{U}^2\delta_{ij}+a_2U_iU_j.\label{q16}
       \end{eqnarray}
This means that only two moduli: $a_1$ and $a_2$ are required for a full
description of the $D_{ij}$-components. The expression for $\Delta_1\left({\bf
U},{\bf e}\right)$-matrix, which is defined in (\ref{q14}), is even more
degenerated, with $rank\Delta_1\left({\bf U}, {\bf e}\right)=2$. This indicates
a strong linear dependence among the $D_{ij}$-values: there exist four linear
relations among the six $D_{ij}$-elements.

Let us consider an isotropic porous medium, with the setup: $U_1=u$, $U_2=U_3
=0$. Then,
 \begin{eqnarray}
((D_{ij}))=u\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}a_1+a_2&0&0\\0&a_1&0\\0&0&a_1\end{array}
\right\}.\label{q17}
    \end{eqnarray}

In ground water hydrology \cite{be72}, the modulus $a_1$ is called transversal
dispersivity (denoted  $a_T$) and $a_1+a_2$ is called longitudinal
dispersivity (denoted $a_L$).

\section{Thermodynamic constraints}\label{a4}

In this section we determine the algebraic constraints that have to be satisfied by
the six dispersivity $a_i$-moduli for an axisymmetric porous medium. We substitute
(\ref{q10}) into (\ref{q5}) and present $\sigma$ in its invariant form, irrespective
of the reference frame,
 \begin{eqnarray}
\frac{\sigma}{g^2}&=&a_1\;{\bf U}^2 \left({\bf \nabla} c\right)^2+a_2\;
\langle{\bf U},{\bf \nabla} c\rangle^2+a_3\;{\bf U}^2 \langle{\bf e},{\bf \nabla} c\rangle^2+
a_4\;\langle{\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle^2\left({\bf \nabla} c\right)^2\label{q18}\\
&&\hspace{2cm} +2\;a_5\;\langle{\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle\langle{\bf U},{\bf \nabla} c\rangle\langle
{\bf \nabla} c,{\bf e}\rangle+a_6\;\langle{\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle^2\langle{\bf e},{\bf\nabla}
c\rangle^2\;.\nonumber
    \end{eqnarray}

We then represent (\ref{q18}) as a quadratic form. This is a standard way to write
the necessary and sufficient conditions for $\sigma$ to be positive definite. For
this purpose, we choose the reference frame such that $e_1=e_2=0$ and $e_3=1$. By
substituting these into (\ref{q18}), we get
 \begin{eqnarray}
\frac{\sigma}{g^2}&=&a_1\sum_{i=1}^3U_i^2\sum_{i=1}^3\left(\nabla_i c\right)^2
+a_2\left(\sum_{i=1}^3U_i\nabla_i c\right)^2+a_3\left(\nabla_3 c\right)^2
\sum_{i=1}^3U_i^2+a_4U_3^2\sum_{i=1}^3\left(\nabla_i c\right)^2\nonumber\\
&&\hspace{2cm}+2\;a_5U_3\nabla_3 c\sum_{i=1}^3U_i\nabla_i c+a_6U_3^2 \left( \nabla_3
c\right)^2\;.\label{q19} \end{eqnarray} Expression (\ref{q19}) is a quadratic form in a 9-dim
space, with orthogonal basis $U_i\nabla_j c$, $i,j=1,2,3$. We decompose it in the
form
 \begin{eqnarray}
\frac{\sigma}{g^2}&=&a_1\left[U_1^2\left(\nabla_2 c\right)^2+U_2^2\left(\nabla_1
c\right)^2\right]+(a_1+a_3)\left(\nabla_3 c\right)^2\left[U_1^2+U_2^2\right]+
(a_1+a_4)U_3^2\left[\left(\nabla_1 c\right)^2+\left(\nabla_2 c\right)^2
\right]\nonumber\\
&+&(a_1+a_2)\left[U_1^2\left(\nabla_1 c\right)^2+U_2^2\left(\nabla_2 c\right)
^2\right]+(a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4+2a_5+a_6)U_3^2\left(\nabla_3 c\right)^2\nonumber\\
&+&2a_2U_1U_2\nabla_1 c\nabla_2 c+2(a_2+a_5)U_3\nabla_3 c\left( U_1\nabla_1
c+U_2\nabla_2 c\right)\;,\label{q19a}
 \end{eqnarray}
and require the positive definiteness of the last expression. Then we obtain
three inequalities
\begin{eqnarray}
  a_1> 0\;,\;\;\;a_1+a_3> 0\;,\;\;\;a_1+a_4> 0\;,\label{q19b}
   \end{eqnarray}
and requirement of positive definiteness of the $3\times 3$ matrix $\Gamma$, \begin{eqnarray}
\Gamma=\left\{\begin{array}{cccccccc}
a_1+a_2&a_2&a_2+a_5\\a_2&a_1+a_2&a_2+a_5\\a_2+a_5&a_2+a_5&
a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4+2a_5+a_6\end{array}\right\}.\label{q19c} \end{eqnarray} The last claim leads
to three additional algebraically independent restrictions, \begin{eqnarray}
&&a_1+a_2> 0\;,\;\;\;a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4+2a_5+a_6> 0\;,\label{q19d}\\
&&a_1^2+a_1(3a_2+a_3+a_4+2a_5+a_6)+2a_2(a_3+a_4+a_6)> 2a_5^2\;.\nonumber
\end{eqnarray}

Thus, we have arrived at 6 constraints imposed on the 6 dispersivity
$a_i$-moduli; this is in full agreement with (\ref{q3b}) for uniaxial symmetry
group ${\cal G}={\cal D}_{\infty h}$. Note that the first two inequalities in
(\ref{q19b}) and (\ref{q19d}) correspond to isotropic porous media.

\section{The Tensor $D_{ij}$ in a Planar Porous Medium with\\
Dihedral Symmetry}\label{a5}

In this section we consider the dispersion phenomenon in a 2-dim porous medium
domain, which is obtained by intersecting a 3-dim uniaxial porous medium with a
plane that is parallel to the uniaxial axis. In the resulting 2-dim porous medium
domain, there are two mirror lines, which are perpendicular to each other. By these
symmetry elements, it is easy to recognize the dihedral point symmetry group ${\cal
D}_2$, which is one of ten 2-dim point symmetry subgroups of ${\cal O}(2)$.

From the mathematical standpoint, the dispersion tensor, $D_{ij}$, can be
represented by a $2\times 2$ symmetric matrix, with three components: ${\bf
D}_3=\{D_{11},D_{22}, D_{12}\}$, instead of the $6\times 6$ matrix $\Delta_2
\left({\bf U},{\bf e}\right)$, as in (\ref{q13}). By doing so, we obtain:
 \begin{eqnarray}
  {\bf D}_3^T=\frac1{U}\;\Delta_2\left({\bf U},{\bf e}\right)\cdot {\bf a}_6^T,
   \label{q20}
    \end{eqnarray}
where the $3\times 6$ matrix, $\Delta_2\left({\bf U},{\bf e}\right)$, is defined as
\begin{eqnarray} \Delta_2\left({\bf U},{\bf e}\right)=\left\{\begin{array}{cccccc} {\bf
U}^2&U_1^2&e_1^2{\bf U}^2&\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle^2&2\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}
\rangle e_1U_1&\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle^2e_1^2\\
{\bf U}^2&U_2^2&e_2^2{\bf U}^2&\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle^2&2\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}
\rangle e_2U_2&\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle^2e_2^2\\
0&U_1U_2&e_1e_2{\bf U}^2&0&\langle{\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle(U_1e_2+e_1U_2)&\langle{\bf e},
{\bf U}\rangle^2e_1e_2\end{array}\right\}.\label{q21}
\end{eqnarray}

Equation (\ref{q20}) does not enable the determination of the six dispersivity
$a_i$-moduli, from 3 values of $D_{ij}$,  which can be obtained from a single
experiment. For comparison, in section \ref{a3}, we have shown that by two
experiments, with different setups of ${\bf U}$, and a known ${\bf e}$, we have
obtained the entire set of 6 dispersivity moduli in a 3-dim saturated porous medium
with uniaxial symmetry.

In this conjunction, the following question arises: how many experiments do we have
to perform in a 2-dim saturated porous medium domain with dihedral symmetry, in
order to obtain the entire set of 6 dispersivity moduli?

It is easy to show that two experiments are not enough. Indeed, let us consider
two different flow setups, with fluid averaged velocities ${\bf W}$ and ${\bf
U}$, and the same orientation of ${\bf e}$,
 \begin{eqnarray}
_1{\bf D}_3^T=\frac1{U}\;\Delta_2\left({\bf W},{\bf e}\right)\cdot {\bf a}_6^T
   \;,\;\;\;\;\;\;_2{\bf D}_3^T=\frac1{U}\;\Delta_2\left({\bf U},{\bf e}\right)
\cdot {\bf a}_6^T.\label{q22}
   \end{eqnarray}
In (\ref{q22}) the front subscripts 1 and 2 in the notations $_1{\bf D}_3^T$ and
$_2{\bf D}_3^T$, indicate data obtained from the 1st and 2nd experiments, with
velocities ${\bf W}$ and ${\bf U}$, respectively. We now introduce a new 6-dim
vector, ${\sf D}_{6,a}$,
 \begin{eqnarray}
{\sf D}_{6,a}=\{_1D_{11},\;_1D_{22},\;_1D_{12},\;_2D_{11},\;_2D_{22},
\;_2D_{12}\},\label{q23}
   \end{eqnarray}
composed of two 3-dim vectors $_1{\bf D}_3=\{_1D_{11},\;_1D_{22},\;_1D_{12}\}$ and
$_2{\bf D}_3=\{_2D_{11},\;_2D_{22}, \;_2D_{12}\}$, and rewrite the two equations in
(\ref{q22}), in the form
  \begin{eqnarray}
{\sf D}_{6,a}^T=\frac1{U}\;\Delta_3\left({\bf W},{\bf U},{\bf e}\right)\cdot
  {\bf a}_6^T\;,\;\;\;\mbox{where}\label{q24}
    \end{eqnarray}
\begin{eqnarray}
\Delta_3\left({\bf W},{\bf U},{\bf e}\right)=\left\{\begin{array}{cccccc}
{\bf W}^2&W_1^2&e_1^2{\bf W}^2&\langle {\bf e},{\bf W}
\rangle^2&2\langle {\bf e},{\bf W}\rangle e_1W_1&\langle {\bf e},{\bf W}\rangle^2e_1^2\\
{\bf W}^2&W_2^2&e_2^2{\bf W}^2&\langle{\bf e},{\bf W}\rangle^2&2\langle {\bf e},{\bf
W}\rangle e_2W_2&\langle {\bf e},{\bf W}\rangle^2 e_2^2\\
0&W_1W_2&e_1e_2{\bf W}^2&0&\langle{\bf e},{\bf W}\rangle(W_1e_2+e_1W_2)&\langle{\bf e},
{\bf W}\rangle^2e_1e_2\\
{\bf U}^2&U_1^2&e_1^2{\bf U}^2&\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle^2&2\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle
e_1U_1&\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle^2e_1^2\\{\bf U}^2&U_2^2&e_2^2{\bf U}^2&\langle {\bf
e},{\bf U}\rangle^2&2\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle e_2U_2&\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle^2e_2^2\\
0&U_1U_2&e_1e_2{\bf U}^2&0&\langle{\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle(U_1e_2+e_1U_2)&\langle {\bf e},
{\bf U}\rangle^2e_1e_2\end{array}\right\}.\nonumber
 \end{eqnarray}
A straightforward calculation shows that
 \begin{eqnarray}
  \det\Delta_3\left({\bf W},{\bf U},{\bf e}\right)=0,\quad\mbox{rank}\;
   \Delta_3\left({\bf W},{\bf U},{\bf e}\right)=5.\label{q25}
    \end{eqnarray}

Thus, among the six elements of the vector ${\sf D}_{6,a}$, given in
(\ref{q23}), there are only five independent ones, and equation (\ref{q24})
does not suffice for providing the six dispersivity $a_i$-moduli.

We shall now show that three experiments are sufficient for providing the entire set
of $a_i$'s. Consider 3 different flow setups, with velocities: ${\bf W}$, ${\bf
U}$ and ${\bf \Upsilon}$ and with the same orientation of ${\bf e}$,
  \begin{eqnarray} _1{\bf
D}_3^T=\frac1{U}\;\Delta_2\left({\bf W},{\bf e}\right)\cdot {\bf a}_6^T
\;,\;\;\;\;\; _2{\bf D}_3^T=\frac1{U}\;\Delta_2\left({\bf U},{\bf e}\right) \cdot
{\bf a}_6^T, \;,\;\;\;\;\; _3{\bf D}_3^T=\frac1{U}\;\Delta_2\left({\bf
\Upsilon},{\bf e}\right)\cdot {\bf a}_6^T,\label{q26}
   \end{eqnarray}
where $_1{\bf D}_3$ and $_2{\bf D}_3$ were defined earlir and $_3{\bf D}_3=\{
_3D_{11},\;_3D_{22}, \;_3D_{12}\}$. In contrast to (\ref{q23}), we introduce another
6-dim vector, ${\sf D}_{6,b}$,
 \begin{eqnarray} {\sf
D}_{6,b}=\{_1D_{11},\;_1D_{12},\;_2D_{11},\;_2D_{12},\;_3D_{11},
  \;_3D_{12}\},\label{q27}
   \end{eqnarray}
composed of two elements, $_iD_{11}$ and $_iD_{12}$, of three 3-dim vectors
$_i{\bf D}_3$, $i=1,2,3$. We rewrite the three equations (\ref{q26}) in the
form,
  \begin{eqnarray}
{\sf D}_{6,b}^T=\frac1{U}\;\Delta_4\left({\bf W},{\bf U},{\bf \Upsilon},
{\bf e}\right)\cdot {\bf a}_6^T\;,\;\;\;\mbox{where}\label{q28}
  \end{eqnarray}
  \begin{eqnarray}
\Delta_4\left({\bf W},{\bf U},{\bf \Upsilon},{\bf e}\right)=
\left\{\begin{array}{cccccc} {\bf W}^2&W_1^2&e_1^2{\bf W}^2&\langle {\bf e},{\bf
W}\rangle^2&2\langle {\bf e},{\bf W}\rangle e_1W_1&\langle {\bf e},{\bf W}\rangle^2e_1^2\\
0&W_1W_2&e_1e_2{\bf W}^2&0&\langle{\bf e},{\bf W}\rangle(W_1e_2+e_1W_2)&\langle{\bf e},
{\bf W}\rangle^2e_1e_2\\
{\bf U}^2&U_1^2&e_1^2{\bf U}^2&\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle^2&2\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}
\rangle e_1U_1&\langle {\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle^2e_1^2\\
0&U_1U_2&e_1e_2{\bf U}^2&0&\langle{\bf e},{\bf U}\rangle(U_1e_2+e_1U_2)&\langle {\bf e},
{\bf U}\rangle^2e_1e_2\\
{\bf \Upsilon}^2&\Upsilon_1^2&e_1^2{\bf \Upsilon}^2&\langle {\bf e},{\bf \Upsilon}
\rangle^2&2\langle {\bf e},{\bf \Upsilon}\rangle e_1\Upsilon_1&\langle {\bf e},{\bf \Upsilon}
\rangle^2e_1^2\\
0&\Upsilon_1\Upsilon_2&e_1e_2{\bf \Upsilon}^2&0&\langle{\bf e},{\bf \Upsilon}\rangle(
\Upsilon_1e_2+e_1\Upsilon_2)&\langle {\bf e},{\bf \Upsilon}\rangle^2e_1e_2\end{array}
\right\}.\nonumber
 \end{eqnarray}

Note that the three 2-dim vectors: ${\bf W}$, ${\bf U}$ and ${\bf \Upsilon}$
are always coplanar. However, if at least two of them would be collinear, then
(\ref{q28}) cannot be solved uniquely, i.e. $\det\Delta_4\left(k{\bf U},{\bf
U},{\bf\Upsilon},{\bf e}\right)=0$, where $k$ is a real number. Otherwise, a
straightforward calculation shows that if neither two of the three vectors:
${\bf W}$, ${\bf U}$, and ${\bf \Upsilon}$ are collinear, then
\begin{eqnarray}
\det\Delta_4\left({\bf W},{\bf U},{\bf \Upsilon},{\bf e}\right)\neq 0,\quad
\mbox{rank}\;\Delta_4\left({\bf W},{\bf U},{\bf \Upsilon},{\bf e}\right)=6.
\label{q29}
\end{eqnarray}
Thus, three special (not any) experiments suffice for providing all
six dispersivity $a_i$-moduli in a 2-dim saturated porous medium with dihedral
symmetry.

\section{Concluding Remarks}\label{a6}

For the case of an axisymmetric porous medium, we have shown that six
independent $a_i$-moduli are needed in order to determine all components of the
dispersivity tensor, and the constraints that these moduli have to satisfy. This
information is required when determining the latter by experiments for specific
porous media. We have also found the number of experiments that are required to
determine the entire set of dispersivity moduli for 2-dim and 3-dim domains.
This is important for experimental determination of the dispersivity.

Legendary Relay Team at Challenge Gdansk
By	adam
A team of legendary Polish athletes will join the inaugural CHALLENGEGDANSK as the so-called Champions Relay. This Relay Team will participate at the sprint distance and consists of Alicja Pęczak, Przemysław Miarczyński and Adam Korol. All participants, solo or relay, can try to beat the finish time of the Champions Relay. All participants who succeed in this, will be invited for an official dinner in a 4-star hotel in Gdansk, including a meet and greet with the team.
The first member of the team is Alicja Pęczak. She's the only member of the Champions Relay who will start in its crowning competition. The rich collection of the former AZS AWF Gdańsk swimmer includes over 370 medals from domestic and foreign events. Pęczak can call herself 82-time Polish senior champion, 14-time medalist of the European Championships and three-time Olympian: Barcelona (1992), Atlanta (1996) and Sydney (2000).
"In December, 20 years have passed since I said goodbye to competitive swimming with gold medals in the European championships. At the moment, I work with students, future swimming teachers and run a swimming school for children, but I cannot swim during these classes. However, I could not refuse to be invited to compete together with such amazing athletes. Therefore, I will have to spend a little more time in the water to start the relay race and not hurt my body. My first training session is behind me. I swam 1500 meters. The technique remained, but endurance needs to be improved" said Alicja Pęczak, who was most successful in the classic style, and also competed in variable style. In June, in Gdańsk, she will have 750 meters to cover with any technique.
The bike part of the race will be taken care of by Przemysław Miarczyński. The popular "Pont" is a 15-time medalist of the World- and European Championships in Olympic classes and an Olympic bronze medalist from London (2012). In total, he's a four-time Olympian (also in 2000, 2004, 2008). Cycling was always a complimentary training to windsurfing for Miarczyński, but after his active career, he has done many extreme bike races as well as running marathons.
"I finished my competitive career in the Olympic classes in 2016. I did a lot of cycling during it. But now I will have to refresh these skills, because lately I have been riding less and running more. The relay invitation found me in the Canary Islands, so I need to get my bike here quickly. In such a climate, it would be a sin to train on a stationary bike. I feel excited about the prospect of taking off. This will be a great motivation. I will do my best to prepare myself as well as possible and fall out within the limits of decency", said Przemysław Miarczyński, who will have to ride 20 km in June in Gdańsk.
Adam Korol is a member of "Dominators", the name of the Polish double four in rowing, which from 2005 till 2010 won all the most important regattas in the world. In 2008, he won a gold medal at the Olympic Games in Beijing. Next to that, he's also a four-time World Champion and a European Champion. In total, Korol participated at the Olympics five times: in 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012. Currently, he is the director of the Office of the President of Gdańsk for Sport.
"Eight years ago I ended my career and I do not miss this achievement. Since then, I have been an amateur athlete, which gives me a lot of satisfaction. I train regularly. I can use a gym, ergometer, stationary bike and I jog a lot. Therefore, I will not change anything in the preparations so far. I guarantee that the run will be at a good level. Anyway, I know that we will all be very well prepared and the old masters will show what else they can do. I have already started to wonder if after the transitions of Alicja and Przemek I will chase or run away from others", said Adam Korol, who will have to run 5 km in Gdańsk.
The inaugural CHALLENGEGDANSK will take place on June 19 and 20 this year. Athletes can compete individually and as a team over the sprint or middle distance. The race courses will be similar to the ones of the Gdańsk Triathlon of July 2019. Triathletes will race in the Gdańsk Bay, next to the Energa Stadium and in the Reagan Park, and finish at the pier in Brzeźno. At the moment it's still possible to register for the event. All information regarding the courses and registration, can be found on www.challenge-poland.com.
