Comparison of moments for classical-, quasi-, and convolution-Fickian dispersion of a conservative tracer
- Purdue Univ., West Lafayette, IN (United States)
Transport moments up to fourth order for convolution-, quasi-, and classical-Fickian dispersion of a conservative tracer are presented and compared. Convolution-Fickian yields a non-Gaussian distribution while quasi- and classical-Fickian result in Gaussian type distributions regardless of the distribution of a stationary velocity field. The first and second central spatial moments are the same for convolution- and quasi-Fickian dispersion, while the third and fourth central moments differ. 15 refs.
