NONLINEAR DIFFUSION APPLIED TO GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION PROBLEMS

An analytical solution to the problem of concentration dependent diffusion with increasing concentration at the source is presented. The solution is of travelling wave type and is applied to predict the contamination in an aquifer from a source wherein the contamination concentration is increasing with time. /Author/
