Geochemical transport in a multilayer system
Description
A geochemical transport model presented in this paper describes release of a chemical species from a source and its subsequent migration through one or more layers along a one-dimensional path. The development of the model was primarily aimed at the release and transport of radionuclides in water, from buried nuclear waste outward through a series of engineered barriers and further into the host rock. The transport model is based on diffusion, flow, and adsorption, allows for up to six layers, and treats physical and chemical parameters (diffusion coefficients, adsorption, porosity, and temperature) as time and distance dependent. 19 references, 8 figures
