Description	SOLUTE is a menu-driven package of interactive programs based on analytical solutions of the advective-dispersive transport equation for non-conservative solutes. Includes: ONED-1 for 1D solute transport in a semi-infinite column, constant concentrations as the inlet boundary condition; retardation and first-order decay. ONED-2 for 1D solute transport in a semi-infinite column; constant mass flux as the inlet boundary condition; retardation included (no decay). ONED-3 for 1D solute transport in a semi-infinite column; concentration-dependent mass flux as the inlet boundary condition; retardation and first-order decay options included. PLUME2D for 2D areal or cross-sectional transport of a plume in a uniform groundwater flow field caused by one or more continuous point sources; retardation and first-order decay included. SLUG-2D for 2D areal or cross-sectional transport of a slug in a uniform groundwater flow field caused by one or more instantaneous point sources; retardation and first-order decay included. PLUME3D for 3D transport of a plume in a uniform groundwater flow field caused by one or more continuous point sources; includes first-order decay and retardation. SLUG-3D for 3D transport of a slug in a uniform groundwater flow field caused by one or more instantaneous point sources; includes first-order decay and retardation. RADIAL for solute transport in a plane radial flow field; this program calculates the concentration distribution along the radial coordinate away from a recharge well; includes retardation but not decay. LTIRD as RADIAL but no retardation; based on improved solution of solute transport equation in radial coordinates. Menu-driven with full screen editing. It can accept different units. Tabular and graphical output of concentration distributions in space and time, to file for subsequent printing or exporting to graphics programs. Contains executable code, example data sets and a user's manual.
