A precise forecast of contaminant and solute transport has an inevitable role in the management of water resources. In accordance with this purpose, in this paper, a novel one-dimensional numerical model for the transport of a decay chain through homogeneous porous media is proposed. To develop the suggested model, two different schemes of the finite difference method, namely the Lax-Wendroff scheme and Fourth-Order scheme, are used. The verification and validation of the established model are examined by the analytical results of three multi-species solute dispersion problems with three- and four-chain members. The total mean square error, L2- and L∞-norms are applied to assess the results. Although analyses show that both schemes provided reliable results, the numerical results of the Lax-Wendroff scheme are more accurate.
