Solute Transfers Modeling In Layered Porous Media Using Differential Quadrature Method (DQ)
Authors: ,
Abstract: Solute or contaminant transport in porous media can be described by Advection – diffusion equations. In this research, the differential quadrature method (DQM) is employed to solve ADE in solute transport in a double-layered porous medium. This method is applied to two examples with different boundary conditions and the results are compared with analytical solutions. Also, the effect of various parameters on interface conditions are discussed in all examples. Using DQM, provides relatively exact results, while the needed mesh size is much smaller than the traditional approaches which reduces computational time and needed computer storage capacity. Another advantage of this numerical method is that applying the boundary and initial conditions can be performed easier than the other numerical methods.
