Sediments with poor drainage conditions are prone to build-up of excess pore water pressure when exposed to dynamic wave loading. This results in accumulated seepage flow that may have a significant impact on migration of solutes in marine sediments. In this study, the complex interplay between solute transport and wave-induced seepage process is investigated through a pioneering approach that combines and synchronously solves the two-dimensional advection-dispersion equation governing nonreactive solute transport with the governing equations for wave-induced oscillatory and residual pore pres...

Most existing studies do not consider the effect that the deformability of submarine sediments may have on solute transport under the action of ocean waves. In this study a two-dimensional numerical model based on Biot's poro-elastic consolidation theory and an advection–dispersion equation is established to investigate the transport of non-reactive solute into a deformable porous seabed under the influence of ocean waves. The numerical model is then validated against experimental and analytical results in order to demonstrate its accuracy and robustness. The simulation results indicate...
