Simulation of the migration of dissolved contaminants through a subaqueous capping layer: model development and application for As migration.

Presents a study which developed a numerical model called TRANSCAP-1D to stimulate the migration of dissolved contaminants through sediment cap in a marine environment. Mathematical formulation and numerical solutions used; Application of the model to the flood sediments of the Saguenay Fjord; Effect of variable input parameters on the response of the model.
