Selvadurai, A.P.S. (2006). Gravity-driven advective transport during deep geological disposal of contaminants. Geophysical Research Letters 33: doi: 10.1029/2006GL025944. issn: 0094-8276.

The paper presents a mathematical model for the study of the advective transport problem where gravity-induced entry of chemicals takes place from open regions of lined boreholes and fracture-type cavities that are deeply located in porous geological media. A characteristic feature of a gravity driven deep geological disposal concept is the presence of time-dependent advective flow velocities in the system. It is shown that certain exact closed-form solutions can be developed to describe the gravity-driven transport of a contaminant into a fluid-saturated host porous geologic medium.
