What is a semi-infinite system in contaminant transport?
💡 Hint: Think about how far we expect constant conditions.
True or False: In most contaminant transport scenarios, convection is typically slower than diffusion.
💡 Hint: Consider the relative speeds of these processes.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A contaminated sediment layer has an initial concentration of 150 mg/kg. If diffusion coefficient is known to diminish this by 20% over a set time, how will you expect flux to change?
💡 Hint: Consider how diffusion directly corresponds to the concentration changes.
In an experiment, sediment water interface measurements were taken before and after a storm, showing dramatic changes in contaminant levels. Discuss potential resuspension effects observed.
💡 Hint: Think about how storm action affects sediment stability.
