How can I get purely advective chemical flow in COMSOL?

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi.

I'm trying to make 1D-purely advective chemical flow, whose breakthrough curve should be look like the captured figure I uploaded.

Therefore, in COMSOL, I used Darcy's law, and Transport of Dilutred Species in Porous Media(TDS) nodes. In Darcy's law node, I calculated the groundwater velocity u, and used it for the convective term in TDS node.

To make the system purely advective, I put 0 on the diffusion coefficient value. Constant concentration (1 mol/m^3) was assigned at the left end of the model, and outflow condition was assigned at the right end of the model. Initial condition was 0 mol/m^3 throughout the domain.

Since there is no diffusion, dispersion, reaction, source, and adsorption term, I think the system should be purely advective, but the result was not the same as what I expected.

I uploaded the breakthrough curve I got from the COMSOL. What should be additionally done to make the system purely advective?
