Abstract

BTCs (Break Through Curves) obtained with 2 -dimensional reactive transport experiments in heterogeneous infiltration field were reproduced by CTRW (Continues Time Random Walk). General form and tailing of Mono-peak BTCs were well reproduced by CTRW. Parameter for the degree of anonymous dispersion ,β were in the range of 0 . 8 < β < 2 . 0 . It means obtained BTCs were close to realistic anonymous dispersion occurred in porous media. Multi-peak BTCs are corresponding to multiple flow paths. In this case, each curve should be fitting with CTRW, individually.
