Abstract

Groundwater contamination problem is modeled using advection dispersion equation with different phase velocity and dispersion. This type of flow problem can be occurred or visualized depending upon the geometry as the surface of the aquifer is made of various soil materials. We consider different velocity and dispersion for different zones. Initially, the aquifer is contamination free, and advection dispersion equation is used to model the system subject to the condition that the source is acting at origin and contaminant concentration flux is zero at the semi-infinite part of the boundary. Laplace transform technique is used to solve the system analytically, and graphs are plotted to show the effect in the aquifer with multiphase.
