    Solution of One-Dimensional Contaminant Flow Problem Incorporating the Zero Order Source Parameter by Method of Eigen-Functions Expansion
    (JOURNAL OF APPLIED SCIENCES AND ENVIROMENTAL MANAGEMENT (JASEM), 2021-10-25) JIMOH, OMANANYI RAZAQ; SHUAIBU, BN
    A semi – analytical study of a time dependent one – dimensional advection – dispersion equation (ADE) with Neumann homogenous boundary conditions for studying contaminants flow in a homogenous porous media is presented. The governing equation which is a partial differential equation incorporates the advection, hydrodynamic dispersion, first order decay and a zero order source effects in the model formulation. The velocity of the flow was considered exponential in nature. The solution was obtained using Eigen function expansion technique after a suitable transformation. The results which investigate the effect change in the parameters on the concentration were discussed and represented graphically. The study revealed that as the zero order source coefficient increases, the contaminant concentration decreases with time.
