What is it about?

Laplace Transform is used to solve a one-dimensional equation constructed using the Euler approach to describe advective transport of solute in a conduit, a production-value problem.Such an approach can lead to the better understanding of water exchange and solute transfer between conduits and aquifer matrix.

Why is it important?

Our solution has significant potential for the application to real karst aquifers and their conduit systems. Fluxes of water and solutes exchanged between a trunk conduit and its tributaries at their junctions can be represented by adjusting or extending the definitions of seepages of water and solutes in this paper. In reality, fluxes of water and solutes between different conduits at the junctions can be conceptualized as localized seepages of water and solutes.

Perspectives

For too long studies of flow in karst aquifers have avoided including theoretical analyses. In this paper we show that sound theoretical analyses can lead to a better understand of the behavior of groundwater flow in karst aquifers and discharge at springs.
