Abstract

Gaining an understanding of solute transport processes can be a time-consuming process due to useage of Fortran models. Senior undergraduate and beginning graduate students in hydrogeology classes are not always familiar with data file preparation and output graphing procedures. Assignments designed to point out important impacts of various transport processes can turn into many hours of preprocessing and postprocessing data with little time or energy for thought and evaluation. A stand-alone Visual Basic program, Visual Solute Transport, has been created for easy data input and graphing of one-dimensional diffusion and advection-dispersion with equilibrium sorption and decay models. Inquiry-based exercises for evaluation of advection-dispersion, dispersivity and sorption effects are included in the paper.
