Question 1
For a sediment with an initial contaminant concentration of 200 mg/kg and a diffusion coefficient of 0.01 m²/s, calculate the concentration at a depth of 5 cm after 2 hours. Assume a semi-infinite model.
💡 Hint: Consider how time and depth influence the diffusion of contaminants.
Question 2
You have a sediment core with varying concentrations from top to bottom. Discuss how you would mathematically model this scenario given the initial conditions and boundary constraints.
💡 Hint: Reflect on using numerical methods to tackle spatially variable concentrations.
