Subordinated Advection-dispersion Equation for Contaminant Transport
نویسندگان
چکیده
A mathematical method called subordination broadens the applicability of the classical advection--dispersion equation for contaminant transport. In this method, the time variable is randomized to represent the operational time experienced by different particles. In a highly heterogeneous aquifer, the operational time captures the fractal properties of the medium. This leads to a simple, parsimonious model of contaminant transport that exhibits many of the features (heavy tails, skewness, and non-Fickian growth rate) typically seen in real aquifers. We employ a stable subordinator that derives from physical models of anomalous diffusion involving fractional derivatives. Applied to the MADE-2 data set, the model shows excellent agreement.

Exact analytical solutions for contaminant transport in rivers 1. The equilibrium advection-dispersion equation
Analytical solutions of the advection-dispersion equation and related models are indispensable for predicting or analyzing contaminant transport processes in streams and rivers, as well as in other surface water bodies. Many useful analytical solutions originated in disciplines other than surface-water hydrology, are scattered across the literature, and not always well known. In this two-part s...
