Book Description
Contaminant fate and transport models are an important part of defining exposure and risk to hazardous contaminants. Analytical models are preferred because they are generally easier and more reliable to use and require fewer computational resources. Only a limited number of analytical models, however, are accessible in the open literature. This handbook provides more than 40 analytical models, however, are accessible in the open literature. This handbook provides more than 40 analytical models of diffusion and advective-diffusion in 1,2, and 3 layer systems subject to a wide range of boundary and initial conditions. Applications to contaminant transport in sediments and soils, including porewater and vaport transport are illustrated. To aid in the use of these models, Mathcad spreadsheets for their numerical evaluation are provided. In addition, detailed solutions of the models are provided allowing the engineer to attack similar problems not addressed in the handbook.
