Abstract
Among several aspects, the one contributing towards the difficulty of groundwater quality evaluation is the large diversity of contamination sources. As contaminants comprising various compounds move from the soil to the water table, they will travel through several hydrologic zones. In constant unidirectional flow fields, a mathematical study of simultaneous adsorption and dispersion of a solute inside homogeneous and isotropic permeable media is described. The solute is adsorbed at a rate proportionate to its concentration in the dispersion systems, which are susceptible to input concentrations that fluctuate exponentially with time. The advection-dispersion equation (ADE) was solved numerically in this work to analyze the pollutants transport bearing in mind the coefficient of distribution and permeability by considering pollutant input concentrations. The solution is derived using the Laplace transform and Duhamel's theorem with moving coordinates. For specified medium and fluid characteristics, mathematical methods are created to forecast the concentration of pollutants in adsorbing porous media.
