Table 2 Results of longitudinal dispersivity and statistical performance of the transport simulations

Effect of equivalent apetures on solute transport simulation

The solute transport simulation was performed using an analytical solution of the ADE (Eq. 10), where longitudinal dispersivity (α_L) was considered as the adjustable parameter to fit the breakthrough curves. Mean flow velocity was chosen according to the calculated equivalent apertures (Table 1). The results demonstrated that fitted α_L values based on V_m did not change abruptly (i.e. same order of magnitude) varying from 0.4 cm in the first experiment (Q = 3.0 mL h^-1) to 0.1 cm in the other three experiments (Table 2). The α_L values based on V_h and V_l converged to 10 cm in most experiments. Overall, α_L values tend to get closer to each other, considering the same equivalent aperture even though Q increases (Table 2).
