Abstract

In this paper, we study a fractal model for the transport of a volatile component from a nonaqueous-phase liquids (NAPL) trapped in homogeneous soil. By introducing a kind of new integral transform in fractal space, analytical solutions of fractal model are given. Numerical results are presented graphically for various values of fractal dimension.
