Parameter Estimation and Stochastic Interpretation of the Transient Storage Model For Solute Transport in Streams

摘要: A stochastic model for solute transport in streams with transient storage zones is presented. This has an analytic solution terms of a rapidly converging infinite series. Besides being computationally efficient, this interest because the series can be interpreted physically. Simple methods roughly estimating zone parameters directly from tracer injection data are introduced. These give quick estimates these without requiring solutions to equations.
