Solute Transport in Heterogeneous Soil with Time-Dependent Boundary Conditions

Contaminant transport in soil with depth-dependent reaction coefficients and time-dependent boundary conditions.

Predicting the fate and movement of contaminant in soils and groundwater is essential to assess and reduce the risk of soil contamination and groundwater pollution. Reaction processes of contaminant often decreased monotonously with depth. Time-dependent input sources usually occurred at the inlet of natural or human-made system such as radioactive waste disposal site. This study presented a on...

Inverse Estimation of Soil Hydraulic and Solute Transport Parameters from Transient Field Experiments: Heterogeneous Soil

While inverse parameter estimation techniques for determining key parameters affecting water flow and solute transport are becoming increasingly common in saturated and unsaturated zone studies, their application to practical problems, such as irrigation, have received relatively little attention. In this article, we used the Levenberg–Marquardt optimization algorithm in combination with the HY...

Solute Transport in Heterogeneous Porous Media

Solute mass transport in porous media is strongly correlated with pore fluid flow. The analysis of solute transport is an effective means for studying medium heterogeneities. In this study, we discuss the effects of heterogeneity on the tracer transport. Assuming steady fluid flow, we have simulated tracer transport in various permeability heterogeneities. The results show that the tracer distr...
