Links to illustrative figures

   Three physical mechanisms that lead to mechanical dispersion during transport through porous media (html format)

   Concentration histories and concentration profiles in response to pulse and continuous (step) inputs:
        Concentration history in response to a pulse input
        Concentration history in response to a step input
        Concentration profile in response to a pulse input
        Concentration profile in response to a step input

   Effect of Peclet number (Pe) on concentration histories and concentration profiles:
        Concentration histories (step input) at low Pe
        Concentration histories (step input) at high Pe
        Concentration profiles (step input) at low Pe
        Concentration profiles (step input) at high Pe

   Effect of non-linear sorption: self-sharpening fronts
        Concentration profiles with LINEAR sorption isotherm, Pe = 50
        Concentration profiles with LANGMUIR sorption isotherm, Pe = 50
        Concentration profiles with FREUNDLICH sorption isotherm, Pe = 50

   Effects of non-equilibrium sorption and validity of local equilibrium assumption
        Concentration profiles for different values of Damkohler number
        Concentration histories for different values of Damkohler number
