    Agreement between the Homotopy Perturbation Method and Variation Iterational Method on the Analysis of One-Dimensional Flow Incorporating First Order Decay

    In this paper, a comparative study of reactive contaminant flow for constant initial concentration in one dimension is presented. The adsorption term is modeled by Freudlich Isotherm. An approximation of the one-dimensional contaminant flow model was obtained using homotopy-perturbation transformation and the resulting linear equations were solved semi-analytically by homotopyperturbation method (HPM) and Variational Iteration Method (VIM). Graphs were plotted using the solution obtained from the methods and the results presented and discussed. The analysis of the results obtained show that the concentration of the contaminant decreases with time and distance as it moves away from the origin.

    INFLUENCE OF ZERO-ORDER SOURCE AND DECAY COEFFICIENTS ON THE CONCENTRATION OF CONTAMINANTS IN TWO-DIMENSIONAL CONTAMINANT FLOW
    (SCHOOL OF PHYSICAL SCIENCES, FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, MINNA, 2017-04-23) JIMOH, OMANANYI RAZAQ; Aiyesimi, Y. M.; Jiya, M.; Bolarin, G. A.
    In this article, an eigenfunctions expansion method is used in studying the behavior of two-dimensional contaminant flow problem with non-zero initial concentration. The mathematical model describing the contaminant flow is described by advection, dispersion, adsorption, first order decay and zero-order source. It is assumed that the adsorption term is modeled by Freudlich isotherm. Before the application of the eigenfunctions method, the parameter expanding method is applied on the model and the boundary conditions are transformed to the homogeneous type. Thereafter, the approximate solution of the resulting initial value problem was obtained successively. The results obtained are expressed graphically to show the effect of change in the zero-order source and decay coefficients on the concentration of the contaminants. From the analysis of the results, it was discovered that the contaminant concentration decreases with increase in the distance from the origin as the zero-order source and decay coefficient increases.
