    A Homotopy-Perturbation analysis of the non-linear contaminant transport problem in one dimension with an initial continuous point source.
    (NIGERIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNOLOGICAL RESEARCH (NJTR), 2013-02-28) Aiyesimi, Y. M.; JIMOH, OMANANYI RAZAQ
    In this research work, a Homotopy-perturbation analysis of a non –linear contaminant flow equation with an initial continuous point source is provided. The equation is characterized by advection, diffusion and adsorption. We assume that the adsorption term is modeled by Freudlich Isotherm. We provide an approximation of this equation using homotopy-perturbation transformation and solve the resulting linear equations analytically by homotopy-perturbation method. Graphs are plotted using the solution obtained from the method and the results are presented, discussed and interpreted. The research findings show that the concentration increases with time and decreases as distance increases.

    INFLUENCE OF OFF-DIAGONAL DISPERSION ON THE CONCENTRATION OF CONTAMINANT IN A TWO-DIMENSIONAL CONTAMINANT FLOW: A SEMI-ANALYTICAL APPROACH
    (Journal of the Nigerian Association of Mathematical Physics, 2018-03-20) JIMOH, OMANANYI RAZAQ; Aiyesimi, Y. M.; JIYA, M.; Bolarin G. A.
    The equation which describes the two-dimensional contaminant flow model is a partial differential equation characterized by advection, dispersion, adsorption, first order decay and zero-order source. In this paper, the off-diagonal dispersion parameter is introduced into the two dimensional contaminant flow model in order to study its effect on the concentration of the contaminant. It is assumed that the adsorption term is modeled by Freudlich isotherm. The parameter expanding method is applied on the equation to obtain a set of differential equations which are then solved successively using the Eigen functions expansion technique to obtain the analytical solution. The results obtained are plotted into graphs to show the effect of change in the parameters on the concentration of the contaminants. Findings from this research show that the contaminant concentration decreases with increase in distance as the off-diagonal dispersion coefficient, zero-order source coefficient and vertical dispersion coefficient increases.

    Semi-analytical Study of a One-dimensional Contaminant Flow in a Finite Medium
    (Journal of Applied Science Environmental Management (JASEM), 2017-05-21) JIMOH, OMANANYI RAZAQ; AIYESIMI, YM; JIYA, M.; BOLARIN, GA
    The Bubnov-Galerkin weighted residual method was used to solve a onedimensional contaminant flow problem in this paper. The governing equation of the contaminant flow, which is characterized by advection, dispersion and adsorption was discretized and solved to obtain the semi-analytical solution. The adsorption isotherm was assumed to be of Freudlich type. The results obtained were expressed in graphical form to show the effect of change in the parameters 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 dispersion and velocity coefficient decrease.

    Comparative Analysis of a Non-Reactive Contaminant Flow Problem for Constant Initial Concentration in Two Dimensions by Homotopy-Perturbation and Variational Iteration Methods.
    (Pacific Journal of Science and Technology, 2013-05-10) JIMOH, OMANANYI RAZAQ
    In this paper, we present a comparative analysis of non-reactive contaminant flow problem for constant initial concentration in two dimensions by homotopy-perturbation and Variational Iteration method. We provide an approximation of this equation using homotopy-perturbation transformation and solve the resulting linear equations analytically by homotopy-perturbation method (HPM) and Variational Iteration Method (VIM). Graphs are plotted using the solution obtained from the method and the results are presented and discussed.

    Mathematical Analysis of a Contaminant Flow in a Finite Medium using the Weighted Residual Method
    (Ilorin Journal of Science, 2015-02-01) JIMOH, OMANANYI RAZAQ; Aiyesimi, Y. M.; Jiya, M.; Bolarin, G. A.
    In this paper, a Galerkin weighted Residual method is used in providing an analytical solution of two-dimensional contaminant flow problem with non-zero initial concentration. The equation 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. Using Bubnov-Galerkin method, the governing equation was converted to a discrete problem. Thereafter, the approximate solution of the resulting system of initial value problem was obtained. The results obtained are expressed in graphical form to show the effect of change in the parameters 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 while it increases with increase in the zero-order source coefficient.

    Computational Analysis of a one-dimensional nonlinear reactive contaminant flow with an initial continuous point source by homotopy-perturbation method.
    (Journal of the Nigerian Association of Mathematical Physics, 2012-11-05) Aiyesimi, Y. M.; JIMOH, OMANANYI RAZAQ
    In this paper, a Homotopy-perturbation analysis of a non–linear reactive contaminant flow equation with initial continuous point source is provided. The equation is described by advection, diffusion and adsorption. We assume that the adsorption term is modeled by Freudlich Isotherm. We provide an approximation of this equation using homotopy-perturbation transformation and solve the resulting linear equations analytically. The graphs of the concentration against the distance, reaction parameter and time are presented and analyzed to determine the effects of increase in the reaction coefficient, time and distance on the concentration. Findings from this research show that the concentration of the contaminant decreases with time and decreases faster when the value of the reaction parameter α is high.
