Hi, i want to ask why i did not get same graph as above?
This is my code that i have try:
%for t1=5%
x=0:0.2:10;
m=0.1;
C_0=1.0;
u_0=0.25;
D_0=0.45;

p_0=0.02;
t1=5;
a=((((u_0)^2)/(4*D_0))+p_0);
b=((u_0)^2)/(4*D_0);
d=(1/(sqrt(2)*m));
e1=(log(2+sqrt(2)+(4+3*(sqrt(2)))*(tanh(m*t1/2))));
e2=(log(2+sqrt(2)-sqrt(2)*tanh(m*t1/2)));
T=d*(e1-e2);
f=((x-((((u_0)^2)+4*p_0*D_0)^1/2)*T)/(2*sqrt((D_0)*T)));
g=((x+((((u_0)^2)+4*p_0*D_0)^1/2)*T)/(2*sqrt((D_0)*T)));
h=((((u_0)-((((u_0)^2)+4*p_0*D_0)^1/2))*x)/(2*D_0));
i=((((u_0)+((((u_0)^2)+4*p_0*D_0)^1/2))*x)/(2*D_0));
j=((x-(u_0)*T)/(2*sqrt((D_0)*T)));
k=((x+(u_0)*T)/(2*sqrt((D_0)*T)));
l=(((u_0)*x)/(D_0));
n=exp(h);
o=erfc(f);
q=exp(i);
r=erfc(g);
s=exp(-p_0*T);
v=erfc(j);
y=erfc(k);
z=exp(l);

plot(x,C1)
hold on

The only thing that helps:
Compare the formulas from the article and yours.

I corrected the three errors in your code detected by @SALAH ALRABEEI
Looks better now, but concentrations still become negative. So your search must go on.

Hi @nur
One of the ways to find out is to determine the equilibrium points from the advection-dispersion equation.
I haven't checked the long equations. Can you verify if you plotted C or
? Sometimes, the transformations can be a little tricky.

Hi @nur
Try to make a little bit of value-added effort to the problem.
Another way is to plot the concentration C from the numerical solution of the advection-dispersion differential equation.
This way you can compare with the analytical solution obtained from the paper. Bear in mind that sometimes misprints can occur due to authors' mistake, or the production crew's mistake. So, what was shown on the paper might not be truly the analytical solution. Therefore, yes you have to check.
But I'd suggest you to take numerical solution approach because that is directly from the governing advection-dispersion law. The analytical solution, which is "human-processed equation" from the law.
Edit: Hey, check this out:

You have two mistakes here
s=(exp(p_0)*T);
The three s in the code should be this
s=(exp(-p_0*T));

The reason is that the curves have data less than zero. Unlike those in the paper.
Anyway, you still can do this by adding this
axis([0 10 0 1])
