Abstract
The basic theory of pollution transport by advection, dispersion, and diffusion, in groundwater, has been presented in Chapter 6. Numerical models for that general case are considered in Chapter 12. In this chapter, numerical models are presented for an approximate model (Section 6.6), in which the transport of a polluting component is taking place by advection only, neglecting transport by mechanical dispersion and molecular diffusion. In such a model the pollutant is transported at the average velocity of the water, which acts as its carrier.
