Abstract
Dissolved
chemicals are transported through groundwater aquifers by a mixture of advection with the underlying fluid flow and dispersion within that fluid. The aquifers can be modelled using a layered structure which simplifies the calculation of vertical transport. This simplified model still allows for the natural stratification which occurs in such systems and the changes in physical properties of the aquifer that occur between different geological layers. Equations are presented to calculate the subsequent concentration of the releases of chemicals into this system. A particular example is considered where an instantaneous release of pollutant occurs and it is subsequently remediated by the downstream release of a suitable pollutant removal agent.
