Aqueous phase liquid (APLs) leakage and spillage into the subsurface system, leading to groundwater contamination is an issue that needs to be addressed. This paper aims to investigate the APLs migration characteristics in fractured non-isothermal double-porosity soil. A laboratory experiment was conducted to observe and monitor the characteristics of the soil structure and APLs migration in heated deformable double-porosity soil using digital image processing technique. The results show rapid liquid migration for the fractured soil samples. The time taken for the liquid to migrate under the application of heat is less for sample with low moisture content due to faster dry off and rapid evaporation. It can be concluded that APLs migration under vibration and non-isothermal effect is highly influenced by the soil sample structure, the soil fractured pattern, the soil water content, and the applied heat in the soil.
