# General One-Dimensional Advective-Diffusive Transport Estimates the transport term (i.e. the rate of change of a concentration due to diffusion and advection) in a one-dimensional model of a liquid (volume fraction constant and equal to one) or in a porous medium (volume fraction variable and lower than one). The interfaces between grid cells can have a variable cross-sectional area, e.g. when modelling spherical or cylindrical geometries (see example). ```r tran.1D(C, C.up = C[1], C.down = C[length(C)], flux.up = NULL, flux.down = NULL, a.bl.up = NULL, a.bl.down = NULL, D = 0, v = 0, AFDW = 1, VF = 1, A = 1, dx, full.check = FALSE, full.output = FALSE) ``` ## Arguments - `C`: concentration, expressed per unit of phase volume, defined at the centre of each grid cell. A vector of length N [M/L3] - `C.up`: concentration at upstream boundary. One value [M/L3] - `C.down`: concentration at downstream boundary. One value [M/L3] - `flux.up`: flux across the upstream boundary, positive = INTO model domain. One value, expressed per unit of total surface [M/L2/T]. If `NULL`, the boundary is prescribed as a concentration or a convective transfer boundary. - `flux.down`: flux across the downstream boundary, positive = OUT of model domain. One value, expressed per unit of total surface [M/L2/T]. If `NULL`, the boundary is prescribed as a concentration or a convective transfer boundary. - `a.bl.up`: convective transfer coefficient across the upstream boundary layer. `Flux = a.bl.up*(C.up-C0)`. One value [L/T] - `a.bl.down`: convective transfer coefficient across the downstream boundary layer (L). `Flux = a.bl.down*(CL-C.down)`. One value [L/T] - `D`: diffusion coefficient, defined on grid cell interfaces. One value, a vector of length N+1 [L2/T], or a `1D property` list; the list contains at least the element `int` (see `setup.prop.1D`) [L2/T] - `v`: advective velocity, defined on the grid cell interfaces. Can be positive (downstream flow) or negative (upstream flow). One value, a vector of length N+1 [L/T], or a `1D property` list; the list contains at least the element `int` (see `setup.prop.1D`) [L/T] - `AFDW`: weight used in the finite difference scheme for advection, defined on grid cell interfaces; backward = 1, centred = 0.5, forward = 0; default is backward.

One value, a vector of length N+1, or a `1D grid property` list; the list contains at least the elements `int` and `mid` (see `setup.prop.1D`) [L2] - `dx`: distance between adjacent cell interfaces (thickness of grid cells). One value, a vector of length N, or a `1D grid` list containing at least the elements `dx` and `dx.aux` (see `setup.grid.1D`) [L] - `full.check`: logical flag enabling a full check of the consistency of the arguments (default = `FALSE`; `TRUE` slows down execution by 50 percent) - `full.output`: logical flag enabling a full return of the output (default = `FALSE`; `TRUE` slows down execution by 20 percent) ## Returns - **dC**: the rate of change of the concentration C due to transport, defined in the centre of each grid cell.

A practical guide to ecological modelling - using R as a simulation platform. Springer ## Details The boundary conditions are either * (1) zero-gradient. * (2) fixed concentration. * (3) convective boundary layer. * (4) fixed flux. The above order also shows the priority. The default condition is the zero gradient. The fixed concentration condition overrules the zero gradient. The convective boundary layer condition overrules the fixed concentration and zero gradient. The fixed flux overrules all other specifications. Ensure that the boundary conditions are well defined: for instance, it does not make sense to specify an influx in a boundary cell with the advection velocity pointing outward. Transport properties: The **diffusion coefficient** (`D`), the **advective velocity** (`v`), the **volume fraction** (VF), the **interface surface** (`A`), and the **advective finite difference weight** (`AFDW`) can either be specified as one value, a vector or a 1D property list as generated by `setup.prop.1D`. When a vector, this vector must be of length N+1, defined at all grid cell interfaces, including the upper and lower boundary. The finite difference grid (`dx`) is specified either as one value, a vector or a 1D grid list, as generated by `setup.grid.1D`. ## Note The advective equation is not checked for mass conservation. Sometimes, this is not an issue, for instance when `v` represents a sinking velocity of particles or a swimming velocity of organisms. In others cases however, mass conservation needs to be accounted for. To ensure mass conservation, the advective velocity must obey certain continuity constraints: in essence the product of the volume fraction (VF), interface surface area (A) and advective velocity (v) should be constant. In sediments, one can use `setup.compaction.1D` to ensure that the advective velocities for the pore water and solid phase meet these constraints. In terms of the units of concentrations and fluxes we follow the convention in the geosciences. The concentration `C`, `C.up`, `C.down` as well at the rate of change of the concentration `dC` are always expressed per unit of phase volume (i.e. per unit volume of solid or liquid). Total concentrations (e.g. per unit volume of bulk sediment) can be obtained by multiplication with the appropriate volume fraction. In contrast, fluxes are always expressed per unit of total interface area (so here the volume fraction is accounted for). ## See Also `tran.volume.1D` for a discretisation the transport equation using finite volumes. `tran.2D`, `tran.3D` `advection.1D`, for more sophisticated advection schemes
