B-Spline Method of Lines for Simulation of Contaminant Transport in Groundwater

In this study, we propose a new numerical method, which can be effectively applied to the advection-dispersion equation, based on B-spline functions and method of lines approach. In the proposed approach, spatial derivatives are calculated using quintic B-spline functions. Thanks to the method of li...
