solute transport processes are affected by soil pore water velocity distribution. pore size distribution, which can be used to infer pore water velocity distribution, can be estimated from a soil water retention curve (n). in this study, a solute breakthrough curve was simulated using soil hydraulic parameters in four different soils. to evaluate the proposed model, predictions were compared to...

ABSTRACT-Application of models for simulation of solute and pollutants transport in soil can reduce time and costs for remediation process. HYDRUS-1D model was developed to simulate the one–dimensional flow of soil water, heat, solute and viruses in variably saturated–unsaturated porous media. The objective of this investigation is to determine the solute transport parameters in disturbed soil ...

the partial differential equations for water flow and solute transport in a two-dimensional saturated domain are rendered discrete using the finite difference technique; the resulting system of algebraic equations is solved using a dynamic programming (dp) method. the advantage of the dp algorithm is that the problem is converted from solving an algebraic system of order nc(nl-1) nc(nl-1) into...

solute transport in unsaturated porous media can be viewed as a coupled phenomenon with waterand heat transport, together with mechanical behaviour of media. in this paper, solute transport is formulatedmathematically considering heat and water flow in deformable porous media. advection, dispersion anddiffusion of chemical species in the liquid phase are considered. convection and conduction fo...

a book review is presented on numerical simulation of groundwater flow and solute transport, edited by l. elango, published by allied publishers pvt. ltd. in 2005, 245 pp, hardback isbn 81-7764-923-x.

many mathematical models have been applied and developed for simulation of water and solute transport in irrigated agriculture. using a model, it should be first calibrated and validated for different regions. swap is a field scale model that simulates water, solute and heat movement in the soil profile. in this study, the swap model was evaluated for two years (2001 and 2002) on wheat in a sem...
