Synopsis:

The course focuses on processes affecting the transport of water-dissolved chemicals in natural porous systems. In addition to reactive substances, the conceptualization of basic transport processes is considered for non-reactive (conservative) solutes. The emphasis is put on the mathematical description of water movement and transport of solutes in soils including transformation processes (initial and boundary conditions, governing equations, analytical and numerical solution, and parameterization of transport coefficients). Attention is also be paid to the concept of the breakthrough curve, parameterization of sorption and degradation processes, description of chemical transport using a two-region/two-site model, existing databases of transport parameters of organic compounds, and different approaches used to assess the mobility of organic compounds in the vadose zone.

Requirements:

N/A

Syllabus of lectures:

Modeling of water flow through porous media.

Boundary conditions and balance of water.

Mechanisms of conservative transport. Governing equations.

Hydrodynamic dispersion.

Boundary conditions and balance of solute.

Nonconservative transport.

Biogeochemical reactions. Sorption. Decay.

Syllabus of tutorials:

Breakthrough curve.

Analytical and numerical solutions.

Transport parameters.

Péclet number and particle tracking.

Two-region and two-site model.
