Local Solute Sinks and Sources Cause Erroneous Dispersion Fluxes in Transport Simulations with the Convection–Dispersion Equation

The convection–dispersion equation (CDE) is the most widely used model for simulating the transport of dissolved substances in porous media. The dispersion term in the CDE lumps molecular diffusion and hydromechanical dispersion into an effective diffusive solute flux. This is possible by describing...
