Transport of non-ergodic solute plumes by steady-state groundwater ow with a uniform mean velocity, l, were simulated with Monte Carlo approach in a two-dimensional heterogeneous and statistically isotropic aquifer whose transmissivity, T, is log-normally distributed with an exponential covariance. The ensemble averages of the second spatial moments of the plume about its center of mass, hS ii ti, and the plume centroid covariance, R ii t i 1Y 2, were simulated for the variance of Y log T, r 2 Y 0X1, 0.5 and 1.0 and line sources normal or parallel to l of three dimensionless lengths, 1, 5, and 10. For r 2 Y 0X1, all simulated hS ii ti À S ii 0 and R ii t agree well with the ®rst-order theoretical values, where S ii 0 are the initial values of S ii t. For r 2 Y 0X5 and 1.0 and the line sources normal to l, the simulated longitudinal moments, hS 11 ti À S 11 0 and R 11 t, agree well with the ®rst-order theoretical results but the simulated transverse moments hS 22 ti À S 22 0 and R 22 t are signi®cantly larger than the ®rst-order values. For the same two larger values of r 2 Y but the line sources parallel to l, the simulated hS 11 ti À S 11 0 are larger than but the simulated R 11 are smaller than the ®rst-order values, and both simulated hS 22 ti À S 22 0 and R 22 t stay larger than the ®rst-order values. For a ®xed value of r 2 Y , the summations of hS ii ti À S ii 0 and R ii , i.e., X ii i 1Y 2, remain almost the same no matter what kind of source simulated. The simulated X 11 are in good agreement with the ®rst-order theory but the simulated X 22 are signi®cantly larger than the ®rst-order values. The simulated X 22 , however, are in excellent agreement with a previous modeling result and both of them are very close to the values derived using Corrsin's conjecture. It is found that the transverse moments may be signi®cantly underestimated if less accurate hydraulic head solutions are used and that the decreasing of hS 22 ti À S 22 0 with time or a negative effective dispersivity, de®ned as 1 2l dhS 22 i dt , may happen in the case of a line source parallel to l where r 2 Y is small.
