Transport of Contaminants
(Nonreactive)
Transport Processes
1. Advection
Also called as convection or advective transport
2. Diffusion
Also called as molecular diffusion
3. Dispersion
Also called as mechanical dispersion or
hydrodynamic dispersion
Transport of Contaminants
Advection
Advection
=
= apparent velocity; = coefficient of permeability
=
= hydraulic gradient

Seepage Velocity, vs
= seepage velocity
= apparent velocity
= porosity of soil
