Abstract
This study focuses on a contaminant transport model with Langmuir sorption under nonequilibrium conditions. The numerical instabilities of the standard finite difference schemes including the upwind method are investigated. By using the nonstandard finite difference method, a better finite difference model is constructed. The numerical simulation on a specific system configuration proves the advantages of the new finite difference model.
