Abstract


Studies of pollution of porous laminates and transfers water in unsaturated soils have attracted the attention of many researchers. These studies have intensified since it was found that soil contamination could have serious impacts on the environment, flora and fauna. In this work, a two-dimensional study will be conducted to simulate the pollutant transfer of a laminate floor. The equations obtained are solved numerically using the finite volume method. We observed the behavior of water content and concentration as a function of different layer study.
