FIG. 12. Breakthrough curves calculated using the Dual-Permeability Model with Two-Site Sorption for a 10-cm-long soil column and the following parameters: solute pulse duration = 10 d, qm = 3 cm d–1, qf = 30 cm d–1, {theta} = {theta}m = {theta}f = 0.5, w = 0.1, {lambda}m = {lambda}f = 1 cm, Kdm = Kdf = 1 cm3 g–1, {rho}b = 1.5 g cm–3, {omega}dp = 0.1 d–1, {alpha}ch,m = {alpha}ch,f = 0.1 d–1, and ff = fm = 1, 0.7, and 0.4. Matrix, fracture, and total breakthrough curves are represented by thin, medium, and thick lines, respectively.
