Estimates the transport term (i.e. the rate of change of a concentration due to diffusion and advection) in a one-dimensional model of a liquid (volume fraction constant and equal to one) or in a porous medium (volume fraction variable and lower than one).
The interfaces between grid cells can have a variable cross-sectional area, e.g. when modelling spherical or cylindrical geometries (see example).

The boundary conditions are either
(1) zero-gradient.
(2) fixed concentration.
(3) convective boundary layer.
(4) fixed flux.
The above order also shows the priority. The default condition is the zero gradient. The fixed concentration condition overrules the zero gradient. The convective boundary layer condition overrules the fixed concentration and zero gradient. The fixed flux overrules all other specifications.
Ensure that the boundary conditions are well defined: for instance, it does not make sense to specify an influx in a boundary cell with the advection velocity pointing outward.
Transport properties:
The diffusion coefficient (D
),
the advective velocity (v
),
the volume fraction (VF), the interface surface (A
),
and the advective finite difference weight (AFDW
)
can either be specified as one value, a vector or a 1D property list
as generated by setup.prop.1D
.
When a vector, this vector must be of length N+1, defined at all grid cell interfaces, including the upper and lower boundary.
The finite difference grid (dx
) is specified either as
one value, a vector or a 1D grid list, as generated by setup.grid.1D
.

only when ( |

flux.down |
flux across the downstream boundary, positive = OUT of model domain. One value [M/L2/T] |
The advective equation is not checked for mass conservation. Sometimes, this is
not an issue, for instance when v
represents a sinking velocity of
particles or a swimming velocity of organisms.
In others cases however, mass conservation needs to be accounted for.
To ensure mass conservation, the advective velocity must obey certain
continuity constraints: in essence the product of the volume fraction (VF),
interface surface area (A) and advective velocity (v) should be constant.
In sediments, one can use setup.compaction.1D
to ensure that
the advective velocities for the pore water and solid phase meet these
constraints.
In terms of the units of concentrations and fluxes we follow the convention
in the geosciences.
The concentration C
, C.up
, C.down
as well at the rate of
change of the concentration dC
are always expressed per unit of
phase volume (i.e. per unit volume of solid or liquid).
Total concentrations (e.g. per unit volume of bulk sediment) can be obtained by multiplication with the appropriate volume fraction. In contrast, fluxes are always expressed per unit of total interface area (so here the volume fraction is accounted for).
