Demonstration of a Split-Operator Numerical Method for Modeling Sorption and Degradation Processes
Abstract
Mathematical models for simulating contaminant fate and transport often include mass transfer, nonlinear reactions, multiple species, and multiple dimensions. These problems can require significant computational effort. Split operator numerical methods can be used to significantly reduce the computational demands of simulating some of these problems. We demonstrate a split operator numerical method on a model for sorption and degradation processes.
