Coupled transport of dissolved organi carbon and organic trace comppounds. Thesis director : Pierre Benoît, Valérie Pot (ECOSYS Grignon).

The model developed combines unsaturated water flow, solutes transport modelled with the MIM approach, complexation in solution between DOC and OTCs and adsorption of the various compounds on the solid phase. The model used already available modules (water flow and solute transport ) and the effort was mainly concentrated on the development of modules for the complexation and adsorption mechanisms. Experiments carried out on large undisturbed columns provided outflow concentrations. Simulations compares favourably with observations.
