Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a sediment density of 1500 kg/m³ and a retardation factor of 2, predict the effective contaminant speed when the initial speed is 10 m/day.
💡 Hint: Consider how retardation changes the movement rate.
Evaluate how the presence of varying core samples from different sediment layers affects the contaminant distribution model.
💡 Hint: Think about how water flows differently depending on sediment layers.
