Fig. 6. Effect of increased dispersion relative to Br and pentafluorobenzoic acid (PFBA) breakthrough curves. Solute fluxes shown as a function of time after application. Blue and black lines represent Br and PFBA breakthrough patterns at irrigation rates of 4.4 and 0.89 mm h–1, respectively. The orange line represents the best fit line using the one-dimensional convective–dispersive equation (CDE) on the lower irrigation rate (PFBA) while at the higher irrigation rate (Br) transport simulations were conducted by increasing the dispersion coefficient by 2 (gold line) and 10 times (pink line).
