Simulations of transport in one dimension

In this study, two initial boundary value problems for one dimensional advection-dispersion equation are solved by differential quadrature method based on sine cardinal functions. Pure advection problem modeling transport of conservative pollutants and fade out problem are simulated successfully by the proposed method. The time integration of the space discretized system is accomplished by using various single step and multi step methods covering forward, modified and improved Euler methods, Runge-Kutta, explicit Adams-Bashforth and implicit Adams-Moulton predictor-corrector methods of different orders. The errors between analytical and numerical solutions for both cases are measured by the use of discrete maximum norm. The numerical results are compared with some earlier results obtained by various methods.
