Abstract

A cell-centered finite-volume method is proposed to solve the unsteady reactive diffusive transport of a contaminant in porous media. Two theoretical properties of the analitical solution, namely non-negativity and maximum principle, are mentioned and their implication on the approximation method are discussed.
