This work presents the principles of two-dimensional modeling of pollutant transport in natural watercourses. The model incorporates water flow computation, both aspects of sediment transport (suspended and bed-load), as well as the processes of nonconservative pollutant transport including its interaction with sediment particles by adsorption/desorption. Deriving the governing equations for pollutant transport included the dissolved and adsorbed pollutant. The exchange between the dissolved and adsorbed pollutant was described using a first order kinetic process, while the modeling of the exchange coefficients remained closely related to the sediment surface available for adsorption.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
