Output Comparison

 

The results given by TDAST can be compared to the output by creating a new imported dataset using File > New > Imported Dataset.

Concentrations obtained by both methods are in close agreement for a dispersion coefficient of 0.01 m2/a. However, it should be noted that at higher values of dispersion coefficient, for example 5 or 10 m2/a, the POLLUTE program will not give the same result as TDAST. This is because POLLUTE considers only 1-dimensional migration in the layer below the source, whereas TDAST considers 2-dimensional migration.
