    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.

    Solution of One-Dimensional Contaminant Flow Problem Incorporating the Zero Order Source Parameter by Method of Eigen-Functions Expansion
    (JOURNAL OF APPLIED SCIENCES AND ENVIROMENTAL MANAGEMENT (JASEM), 2021-10-25) JIMOH, OMANANYI RAZAQ; SHUAIBU, BN
    A semi – analytical study of a time dependent one – dimensional advection – dispersion equation (ADE) with Neumann homogenous boundary conditions for studying contaminants flow in a homogenous porous media is presented. The governing equation which is a partial differential equation incorporates the advection, hydrodynamic dispersion, first order decay and a zero order source effects in the model formulation. The velocity of the flow was considered exponential in nature. The solution was obtained using Eigen function expansion technique after a suitable transformation. The results which investigate the effect change in the parameters on the concentration were discussed and represented graphically. The study revealed that as the zero order source coefficient increases, the contaminant concentration decreases with time.
