Abstract
There are a plethora of important and practical phenomena in science and engineering concerning with advection and diffusion, such as thermal convection in a furnace, chemical substance diffusion in a solution, contaminant dispersion in the environmental waters, salt water diffusion in the sea, CO\(_2\) dispersion in the atmosphere, etc. We must solve these problems not only in space but also in time, because they are time-dependent. The phenomena normally include two different and sometimes contradictory phenomena, i.e., advection and diffusion.
