Figure 7-4. Cumulative residence time distribution (RTD) curves produced by the RTTF particle tracking technique for one-dimensional dispersion (filled circles), compared to analytical solution (solid curves). In the curves without sorption, Pe was varied. For the dashed curve, linear sorption was included for Pe = 20 (Robinson et al. 1997; Figure 4-4).

Figure 7-5. Residence time distribution (RTD) curves calculated using the RTTF particle tracking technique (symbols) for different numbers of particles, compared to the analytical solution (solid curve). The RTD is a solute concentration normalized so that the area under the curve is unity (Robinson et al. 1997; Figure 4-5).
