Summary

Three-dimensional analytical solutions for solute transport in saturated, homogeneousporous media are developed. The models account for three-dimensional dispersion ina uniform flow field, first-order decay of aqueous phase and sorbed solutes withdifferent decay rates, and nonequilibrium solute sorption onto the solid matrix of theporous formation. The governing solute transport equations are solved analytically byemploying Laplace, Fourier and finite Fourier cosine transform techniques. Porousmedia with either semi-infinite or finite thickness are considered. Furthermore,continuous as well as periodic source loadings from either a point or an elliptic sourcegeometry are examined. The effect of aquifer boundary conditions as well as thesource geometry on solute transport in subsurface porous formations is investigated.
