Abstract:   (14985 Views)

Solute transport in unsaturated porous media can be viewed as a coupled phenomenon with water

and heat transport, together with mechanical behaviour of media. In this paper, solute transport is formulated

mathematically considering heat and water flow in deformable porous media. Advection, dispersion and

diffusion of chemical species in the liquid phase are considered. Convection and conduction for heat flow is

taken into account. Water flow is considered in both vapour and liquid phases. Equilibrium equation, energy

conservation, mass conservation and linear momentum for water, gas and solute are written and solved

simultaneously using finite element method. The developed model is validated by solving some examples and

comparing results with the results of experimental observation.
