Abstract

Closed-form analytical solutions are derived for steady-state ground wa- ter flow and solute transport phenomena when the ground water density depends on the solute concentration. The flow and transport under con- sideration are one dimensional vertical as they occur in a vertical soil column. The soil column can be inhomogeneous, consisted of two lay- ers where transport related properties are uniform within each layer, but there can be jump discontinuities across the layer interface. Transport mechanisms considered are advection, molecular diffusion, and velocity- dependent mechanical dispersion. Therefore, all relevant transport mech- anisms are accounted for. The closed-form solutions derived herein can be used to assess accuracies of various numerical codes which simulate d
