An evaluation of boundary conditions for one-dimensional mass transport, I : mathematical development / by Kent S. Novakowski.: En13-5/90-163E-PDF

"One of the most difficult problems in hydrogeology has to do with predicting the nature of the dispersion and dilution of contaminants transported by groundwater from a waste site. The most common method by which to determine the necessary parameters for making a prediction is the advective tracer experiment conducted in a radial flow field. This is the first of a two-part paper series in which the boundary conditions for the analytical models used to interpret tracer experiments are evaluated. In this paper it is determined that there is considerable difference in the results obtained depending on the choice of boundary condition. The differences can not be resolved using traditional mass balance means and thus physical modelling is required to complete the evaluation. The results of the physical modelling are presented in the second paper"--Management perspective.
