Abstract
The assumptions and analysis of Part 1 are extended to the three model soil-water profiles having different immobile-water contents up to 0.08 m 3 m −3. Concentration profiles in the mobile zone obtained with a constant dispersion coefficient are compared with those calculated with the same dispersion coefficient and no immobile water. The average concentration profiles were calculated from the concentration of the solution in both the mobile and immobile phases. Increasing the immobile-water content decreased and shifted the average concentration profiles further into the soil. The values of the dispersion coefficient calculated with the immobile-water fraction ignored, were found to be water content dependent and many times greater than that of the input dispersion coefficient.
