✦ Synopsis

Rational strategies are considered for the specification of the intermediate boundary condition at an inflow boundary where process splitting (fractional steps) is adopted in solving the advection-dispersion equation. Three lowest-order methods are initially considered and evaluation is based on comparisons with an analytical solution. For flow and dispersion parameter ranges typical of rivers and estuaries, the given boundary condition for the complete advection-dispersion equation at the end of the complete time step provides a satisfactory estimate of the intermediate boundary value. This was further confirmed by the development and evaluation of two higher-order methods. These required non-centred discrete approximations for spatial derivatives, which offset any special advantages from the higher truncation error order.

Operator splitting algorithms are frequently used for solving the advection -diffusion equation, especially to deal with advection dominated transport problems. In this paper an operator splitting algorithm for the three-dimensional advection-diffusion equation is presented. The algorithm represents
