These different components of dispersion usually need to be considered separately in models because spreading upward or downward is often considerably less than spreading in horizontal or subhorizontal planes. (1986), Freyberg (1986), and Sudicky (1986). 8 Idealized pattern of plume spreading in three dimensions is characterized by a longitudinal and two transverse dispersion components. 9 (a) Microscale and (b) macroscale variability contributing to the development of dispersion. It describes an exponential decrease with time in the concentration of the dissolved radioactive component.
Also adds complexity in production of daughter products. Sorption Partitioning of a contaminant between the ground water and mineral or organic solids in the aquifer. Makes it more difficult to remove contamination at a site. Dissolution/ precipitation The process of adding contaminants to, or removing them from, solution by reactions dissolving or creating various solids. Solution concentration is mainly controlled either at the source or at a reaction front. Acid/base reactions Reactions involving a transfer of protons (H+).
Indeed, it could be argued that the lack of a Page 19 userfriendly interface may be a useful safety feature to help prevent inappropriate use of the models by nonqualified personnel. It is not acceptable, however, to assign modeling projects to existing personnel who may simply be available for such tasks, without intensive and appropriate training. Such specialists would then have the responsibility to continually maintain and update their knowledge of the models being used and to make certain that others within the organization do not use the models inappropriately.
