One-Dimensional Transport with Inflow and Storage (OTIS): A Solute Transport Model for Streams and Rivers
Robert L. Runkel
1998, Water-Resources Investigations Report 98-4018
OTIS is a mathematical simulation model used to characterize the fate and transport of water-borne solutes in streams and rivers. The governing equation underlying the model is the advection-dispersion equation with additional terms to account for transient storage, lateral inflow, first-order decay, and sorption. This equation and the associated equations...
