Convergence to Travelling Waves in a Reaction-diffusion System Arising in Contaminant Transport
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider a nonlinear system of parabolic equations describing the transport of contaminant in porous media. For this system travelling wave solutions are known to exist. We prove existence and uniqueness of general solutions of the system and convergence to travelling waves.

Risk assessment of industrial hydrocarbon release and transport in the vadose zone as it travels to groundwater table: A case study
In this paper, a modeling tool for risk assessment analysis of the movement of hydrocarbon contaminants in the vadose zone and mass flux of contamination release into the groundwater table was developed. Also, advection-diffusion-reaction equations in combination with a three-phase equilibrium state between trapped air, soil humidity, and solid particles of unsaturated soil matrix were numerica...
متن کاملA numerical investigation of a reaction-diffusion equation arises from an ecological phenomenon
This paper deals with the numerical solution of a class of reaction diffusion equations arises from ecological phenomena. When two species are introduced into unoccupied habitat, they can spread across the environment as two travelling waves with the wave of the faster reproducer moving ahead of the slower.The mathematical modelling of invasions of species in more complex settings that include ...
متن کاملA comparison of periodic travelling wave generation by Robin and Dirichlet boundary conditions in oscillatory reaction–diffusion equations
Periodic travelling waves are an important solution form in oscillatory reaction–diffusion equations. I have shown previously that such waves arise naturally near a boundary at which a Dirichlet condition is applied. This result has applications in ecology, providing a potential explanation for the periodic waves seen in a number of natural populations. However, in ecological applications the D...
متن کاملTravelling-wave analysis of a model describing tissue degradation by bacteria
We study travelling-wave solutions for a reaction-diffusion system arising as a model for host-tissue degradation by bacteria. This system consists of a parabolic equation coupled with an ordinary differential equation. For large values of the ‘degradation-rate parameter’ solutions are well approximated by solutions of a Stefan-like free boundary problem, for which travelling-wave solutions can...
متن کاملEvaluation of Optimum Landfill Design by Contaminant Transport Analysis
Contaminant transport analysis was performed for four selected solid waste landfill designs using the computer code POLLUTE. The diffusion coefficients were determined for the natural soils (aquitard) and compacted soils from the Urumia landfill site, using the diffusion tests. These coefficients along with the geometrical, physical, and chemical parameters of the natural soil and engineered la...
