Abstract: This study investigated the use of a two-dimensional profile-oriented waterquality model for the simulation of head and water-quality changes through the saturated thickness of an aquifer. The profile model is able to simulate confined or unconfined aquifers with nonhomogeneous anisotropic hydraulic conductivity, nonhomogeneous specific storage and porosity, and nonuniform saturated thickness. An aquifer may be simulated under either steady or nonsteady flow conditions provided that the groundwater flow path a… Show more

“…We encountered additional problems in numerical case studies including ambiguity in source definition, ignoring physico‐chemical processes, problems with the grid scale, and missing or very coarse data calibration. Due to the aforementioned reasons, multiple studies were excluded [ Pinder , ; Robson , ; Konikow and Bredehoeft , ; Fried , ; Konikow , ; Helweg and Labadie , ; Ahlstrom et al ., ; Vaccaro and Bolke , ]. A detailed discussion is given in the supporting information.…”

“…These refer to longitudinal dispersion (α L ), and transverse horizontal (α T H ) and vertical (α T V ) dispersion. Burnett and Frind [1987] derived the form of the dispersion tensor by generalizing the form for isotropic media to account for different transverse dispersivities in the horizontal and vertical directions as observed in natural stratified media with flow along the bedding plane [ Anderson , 1979; Robson , 1978]. For example, Zheng and Bennett [1995, pp.…”

“…To resolve these issues, Burnett and Frind [1987] simplified the above approach based on some earlier experimental evidence. Robson [1978] and Anderson [1979] observed that the transverse component of the dispersion coefficient in natural stratified porous media was often smaller in the vertical plane than that in the horizontal plane. Burnett and Frind therefore suggested that an approximate formulation can be developed for calculating the components of the dispersion coefficient tensor using only three dispersivity term, i.e., a longitudinal dispersivity α L , a horizontal transverse dispersivity α TH , and a vertical dispersivity α TV .…”
