We show that the GBW saturation model provides an exact solution to the one dimensional linear transport equation. We also show that it is motivated by the BK equation considered in the saturated regime when the diffusion and the splitting term in the diffusive approximation are balanced by the nonlinear term.

A stable relaxation approximation for a transport equation with the diiusive scaling is developed. The relaxation approximation leads in the small mean free path limit to the higher order diiusion equation obtained from the asymptotic analysis of the transport equation.

We derive a probabilistic representation for solutions of matrix-valued transport equations that account for polarization e ects. Such equations arise in radiative transport for the Stokes parameters that model the propagation of light through turbulent atmospheres. They also arise in radiative transport for seismic wave propagation in the earth's crust. The probabilistic representation involve...

Class Meeting # 24: Transport Equations and Burger’s Equation In these notes, we introduce a class of evolution PDEs known as transport equations. Such equations arise in a physical context whenever a quantity is “transported” in a certain direction. Some important physical examples include the mass density flow for an incompressible fluid, and the Boltzmann equation of kinetic theory. We discu...

Rockfill dams are accounted as useful measures in watershed management projects. How-ever, the sediment transport through the rockfill materials, could impact their lifetime duration. Previously, researches have been conducted to describe the various hydraulically issues of the flow passing through these structures However; there is no general relationship to estimate the sediment transport rat...

In this paper, the accuracy and efficiency of the previously discussed one-dimensional transport equation models [Y. Jing et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 127, 2312-2322 (2010)] are examined both numerically and experimentally. The finite element method is employed to solve the equations. Artificial diffusion is applied in the numerical implementation to suppress oscillations of the solution. The tr...

In the present study, tried to examine the reactive solute relationships for transport and degradation processes through the rockfill media. By applying the analytical solution of reactive transport, the 1st to 3rd theoretical temporal moments have been extracted then, by using two methods of curve fitting and temporal moment matching, the coefficients of dispersion and degradation have been ex...
