For the past few decades, there has been an intense public and scientific concern over the disposal of solid and hazardous waste, which hampers the harmony of the ecosystem. The disposed off waste in the due course of time interacts with rainwater and contaminates the ground water resource. Such a situation calls for proper understanding and modeling of the long-term performance of these wastes and their transport through the porous media. With this in view, an attempt was made to model advective-diffusive transport of a nonreactive contaminant (chloride ion) through the unsaturated silty soil, in a geotechnical centrifuge. The results were compared with those obtained from the finite element analysis using SEEP/W and CTRAN/W, and an excellent matching between the results has been noted. |
