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
