  Mathematical Modelling to Determine the Velocity of the Contaminant in a Flow through a Porous Medium
  Author(s): Sheila Kiprotich*
  
  The transport of contaminants emanating from localized sources such as factories and agricultural farms in porous media, is of hydro dispersion phenomena, and has been the major subject for more than four decades. Because of industrial and agricultural activities, inorganic wastes mainly non-biodegradable substances from oil spills, human wastes, fertilizers among others, percolates through porous media and eventually find their way to water bodies and food crops in the farms. Some of these substances are harmful to human health and gets to our bodies through the water we drink or the food we eat. This research study aims to formulate a particle tracking mathematical model of contaminant flow through a porous media. The governing equation of three-dimensional concentration distribution in fluid flow through porous media has been formulated using advection-dispersion .. Read More»
