Direct transfer mass flux links are used to transport mass directly from one pathway to another via a mechanism that cannot be appropriately represented as either advection or diffusion. They are defined by specifying a fractional rate at which mass is being moved from one pathway to another. Hence, a direct transfer mass flux is computed as the mass of the species The chemical (or non-chemical, such as bacterial or viral) constituents that are stored and transported through an environmental system in a contaminant transport model. In GoldSim, the Species element defines all of the contaminant species being simulated (and their properties). in the pathway multiplied by a fractional transfer rate:
Direct Transfer Mass Flux = Mass in Cell * Transfer Rate
The Transfer Rate has dimensions An output attribute for an element that defines the dimensionality (in terms of Length, Time and other fundamental dimensions) of the output. of inverse time. The Transfer Rate is specified as a vector A one-dimensional array. by species. This allows the Transfer Rate to be species-specific.
Direct transfer mass flux links are uni-directional (mass can only be transported in one direction). That is, the Transfer Rate must be non-negative.
