"Numerical investigation of solute transport into deformable marine sed" by Xiaoli Liu, Hongyi Zhao et al.
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...
