Abstract

We consider a mathematical model for the decay and sorption of radionuclides and their transport in a double porosity media. Such a model can describe transport and reaction processes in porous media, for examle, radioactive waste sites in the ground. We present the equations for a reduced model and apply an operator splitting method for computing the transport and reaction separately. We validate our numerical solutions by comparison with the analytical solutions of our particular test problem.
