\title{
  One-Dimensional Advection Equation
}

\description{
  Estimates the advection term in a one-dimensional model of a
  liquid (volume fraction constant and equal to one) or in a porous medium
  (volume fraction variable and lower than one).

  The interfaces between grid cells can have a variable cross-sectional area,
  e.g. when modelling spherical or cylindrical geometries (see example).
  
  TVD (total variation diminishing) slope limiters ensure monotonic and 
  positive schemes in the presence of strong gradients. 
  
  \code{advection.1-D}: uses finite differences.
   
  This implies the use of velocity (length per time) and fluxes 
  (mass per unit of area per unit of time). 

 
  \code{advection.volume.1D}
  Estimates the volumetric advection term in a one-dimensional model 
  of an aquatic system (river, estuary). This routine is particularly 
  suited for modelling channels (like rivers, estuaries) where the 
  cross-sectional area changes, and hence the velocity changes. 
  
  Volumetric transport implies the use of flows (mass per unit of time). 
  
  When solved dynamically, the euler method should be used, unless the
  first-order upstream method is used.

\details{
  This implementation is based on the GOTM code

  The \bold{boundary conditions} are either
  \itemize{
    \item zero-gradient.
    \item fixed concentration.
    \item fixed flux.
  }
  The above order also shows the priority. The default condition is the
  zero gradient. The fixed concentration condition overrules the zero gradient.
  The fixed flux overrules the other specifications.

  Ensure that the boundary conditions are well defined: for instance, it 
  does not make sense to specify an influx in a boundary cell with the advection
  velocity pointing outward.
    
  \bold{Transport properties:}
  
  The \emph{advective velocity} (\code{v}),
  the \emph{volume fraction} (VF), and the \emph{interface surface} (\code{A}),
  can either be specified as one value, a vector, or a 1D property list
  as generated by \code{\link{setup.prop.1D}}.

  When a vector, this vector must be of length N+1, defined at all grid
  cell interfaces, including the upper and lower boundary.

  The \bold{finite difference grid} (\code{dx}) is specified either as
  one value, a vector or a 1D grid list, as generated by \code{\link{setup.grid.1D}}. 
  
  Several slope limiters are implemented to obtain monotonic and positive 
  schemes also in the presence of strong gradients, i.e. to reduce the effect
  of numerical dispersion. The methods are (Pietrzak, 1989, Hundsdorfer and 
  Verwer, 2003):
  \itemize{
    \item "quick": third-order scheme (TVD) with ULTIMATE QUICKEST limiter 
     (quadratic upstream interpolation for convective kinematics with 
     estimated stream terms) (Leonard, 1988)
    \item "muscl": third-order scheme (TVD) with MUSCL limiter (monotonic upstream 
      centered schemes for conservation laws) (van Leer, 1979).
    \item "super": third-order scheme (TVD) with Superbee limiter (method=Superbee)
      (Roe, 1985)
    \item "p3": third-order upstream-biased polynomial scheme (method=P3)
    \item "up": first-order upstream ( method=UPSTREAM) - this is the same
      method as implemented in \link{tran.1D} or \link{tran.volume.1D}
  }
  where "TVD" means a total variation diminishing scheme

  Some schemes may produce artificial steepening. Scheme "p3" is not necessarily
  monotone (may produce negative concentrations!).

  If during a certain time step the maximum Courant number is larger
  than one, a split iteration will be carried out which guarantees that the
  split step Courant numbers are just smaller than 1. The maximal number of such
  iterations is set to 100.
  
  These limiters are supposed to work with explicit methods (\link{euler}). However, 
  they will also work with implicit methods, although less effectively.
  Integrate \link{ode.1D} only if the model is stiff (see first example).
}
\note{ 
The advective equation is not checked for mass conservation. Sometimes, this is 
not an issue, for instance when \code{v} represents a sinking velocity of 
particles or a swimming velocity of organisms. 

In others cases however, mass conservation needs to be accounted for. 

To ensure mass conservation, the advective velocity must obey certain 
continuity constraints: in essence the product of the volume fraction (VF), 
interface surface area (A) and advective velocity (v) should be constant. 
In sediments, one can use \code{\link{setup.compaction.1D}} to ensure that 
the advective velocities for the pore water and solid phase meet these 
constraints. 

In terms of the units of concentrations and fluxes we follow the convention 
in the geosciences. 
The concentration \code{C}, \code{C.up}, \code{C.down} as well at the rate of 
change of the concentration \code{dC} are always expressed per unit of 
phase volume (i.e. per unit volume of solid or liquid). 

Total concentrations (e.g. per unit volume of bulk sediment) can be obtained by 
multiplication with the appropriate volume fraction. In contrast, fluxes are 
always expressed per unit of total interface area (so here the volume fraction 
is accounted for).
