Multiphysics Numerical Modeling of Transient Transport of PFAS
The need to understand the fate and transport of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has grown due to the widespread contamination of the environment by them. PFAS are persistent, mobile, toxic manmade chemicals of great concern that contribute to the contamination of soil and groundwater. The presence of PFAS in unsaturated soil complicates their transport due to the impact of the air–water interface and solid-phase adsorption. The air–water interface can significantly increase the retention of PFAS during its transport. In this paper, a numerical model has been developed to study the transport of PFAS by coupling transient seepage and advection-dispersion, also accounting for the air–water interface and solid-phase adsorption. The numerical model was then used to study various scenarios.
