Abstract
The solution of the dispersion equation in porous mediums is difficult because of the dependence of the dispersion tensor on the velocity. Approximate solutions of dispersion in nonuniform two‐dimensional flows are sought by perturbation expansions. An inner boundary layer solution for the transition zone between two fluids in steady and unsteady conditions is derived. Two examples of dispersion, radial flow and coastal aquifers, are solved approximately.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
