Question 1

What is the primary function of initial conditions in contaminant transport modeling?

  • To predict future concentration distributions.
  • To establish starting contaminant levels.
  • To define system boundaries.

💡 Hint: What do these conditions tell us about our analysis?

Question 2

True or False: Boundary conditions only apply at the interface of the sediment and water.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about where the system starts and ends.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are tasked with modeling contaminant transport in a river sediment with an initial concentration of 15 mg/L. Construct equations to explain how you would establish initial and boundary conditions.

💡 Hint: Use Fick’s law as a guide for setting up your flux equations.

Question 2

In your model, the water layer above the sediment increases the mass transfer coefficient significantly. How does this affect the diffusion of contaminants from sediment into water?

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between mass transfer coefficients and overall transfer rates.
