Solute Dispersion and Transport in Pipes under Transient Hydraulic Conditions

Solving or approximating the advection-diffusion/dispersion equation (ADE) is a challenging and important problem and has thus motivated a great deal of intense research. A specific complication arises from the nature of the governing partial differential equation: it is characterized by a hyperbolic non-dissipative advective transport term, a parabolic diffusive (dispersive) term and, possibly, an additional reaction/decay mechanism. In most …
