An Analytical Solution of the Advection Dispersion Equation in a Bounded Domain and Its Application to Laboratory Experiments

We study a uniform flow in a parallel plate geometry to model contaminant transport through a saturated porous medium in a semi-infinite domain in order to simulate an experimental apparatus mainly constituted by a chamber filled with a glass beads bed. The general solution of the advection dispersi...

description We study a uniform flow in a parallel plate geometry to model contaminant transport through a saturated porous medium in a semi-infinite domain in order to simulate an experimental apparatus mainly constituted by a chamber filled with a glass beads bed. The general solution of the advection dispersion equation in a porous medium was obtained by utilizing the Jacobi θ3 Function. The analytical solution here presented has been provided when the inlet (Dirac) and the boundary conditions (Dirichelet, Neumann, and mixed types) are fixed. The proposed solution was used to study experimental data acquired by using a noninvasive technique.
