Flow and Contaminant Transport Model for Unsaturated Soil

Javadi, Akbar A. / AL-Najjar, Mohammed M. / Evans, Brian

Summary This paper presents the development and validation of a numerical model for simulation of the flow of water and air and contaminant transport through unsaturated soils. The governing differential equations include two mass balance equations for the water phase and air phase together with a balance equation for contaminant transport through the two phases. In the model the nonlinear system of the governing differential equations was solved using a finite element method in the space domain and a finite difference scheme in the time domain. The governing equation of the miscible contaminant transport including advection, dispersion-diffusion and adsorption effects are presented. The model is validated by application to standard experiments on contaminant transport in unsaturated soils. The application of the model to case study is then presented and discussed.
