Obtaining a Semi-analytical Solution for Contaminant Transport in Coastal Aquifers: Fourier-galerkin Method, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ataie-Ashtiani, Behzad (Supervisor) ; Jamali, Mirmosaddegh (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
Existing closed form solutions of contaminant transport problems are limited by the mathematically convenient assumption of uniform flow. These solutions cannot be applied for coastal aquifers where seawater intrusion induces a variable velocity field. The Fourier series method is adapted to obtain a semi-analytical solution for contaminant transport in confined coastal aquifer in which the saltwater wedge is in equilibrium with a freshwater discharge flow. The developed method can be applied for different scenarios of contamination. Two scenarios dealing with, respectively, contaminant leakage from a source at the aquifer top surface and aquifer contamination from the landward boundary are...
