Mathematical Simulation of the Migration of Radionuclides in a Soil Medium Under Nonisothermal Conditions with Account for Catalytic Microparticles and Nonlinear Processes

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

The problem of mathematical simulation of the vertical migration of radionuclides in a catalytic porous medium under nonisothermal conditions is considered. A numerical solution of the corresponding one-dimensional nonlinear boundary-value problem is obtained by the finite difference method. Numerical experiments are carried out and their analysis is made.
