The concentration variance equation, similar to the mean concentration equation, consists of convection and dispersion terms with the mean water velocity and macrodispersivity. In addition, there is a production term in the concentration variance e-quation. The concentration variance production is quadratically proportional to the mean concentration gradient with a coefficient Qij , defined as the concentration variance productivity , which is the difference between the macrodispersivity Aij and the local dispersivity aij multiplied by a four-rank tensor. The macrodispersivity and the local dispersivity, respectively, result in the creation and dissipation of the concentration variance. The concentration variance is produced if the concentration gradient exists. For t→∞, Qij→0 , which indicates that the creation and dissipation of the concentration variance are balanced at large travel time. We solve the variance equation numerically along with the mean e-quation using Aij, Qij, and the effective solute velocity v . The variance productivity increases with the decrease in transverse local dispersivity and is not sensitive to longitudinal local dispersivity. The maximum concentration variance occurs near the maximum mean concentration gradient.展开更多
