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
