Reactive Contaminant Transport with Space-Dependent Dispersion and Time-Dependent Concentration Source
ABSTRAKT
This work is focused on the modeling of a one-dimensional contaminant transport in a uniform porous medium with a spatially dependent dispersion coefficient and time-dependent source concentration in the presence of a first-order reaction. Two types of source concentration boundary conditions are employed. These are the type I and type III boundary conditions with an increasing time-dependent power law function multiplied by a decaying time-dependent exponential function. The variable dispersion coefficient is represented by an exponentially increasing function with the downstream distance. Various analytical solutions for special cases of the problem are presented, and the general nonlinear problem is solved numerically by an implicit finite difference method. The numerical method is validated by various comparisons with the analytical solutions and is found to be in excellent agreement. A parametric study of all physical parameters is conducted, and the results are presented graphically to illustrate interesting features of the solutions.
