Problem 3 – Solute transport in a saturated porous medium

Abstract: This test case illustrates transport of a solute within a steady state, uniform flow field. An initial square pulse of solute mass is instantaneously introduced into the flow field and transported downstream. The pulse undergoes advection, dispersion and molecular diffusion. The user is introduced to solute transport input file cards, standard and higher order transport options, and the importance of controlling Peclet and Courant numbers.
