Abstract
Groundwater is the water located in the soil porous matrix or in the fractures of rock formations. Many different factors affected the quality of the groundwater. One of the effective factors on groundwater quality is the vicinity of pollution source to the aquifer.
In this paper, transport of salt in groundwater sources is numerically investigated. A horizontal porous matrix saturated with water is selected to simulate the double diffusive natural convection effects in mass transfer rate. Darcy model is used for prediction of velocity field in groundwater source. It is shown that temperature difference between salt and water source accelerate the transport of pollutants.
