Analytical solutions of the advection-dispersion solute transport equation remain useful for a large number of applications in science and engineering. In this paper we extend the Duhamel theorem, originally established for diffusion type problems, to the case of advective-dispersive transport subject to transient (time-dependent) boundary conditions. Generalized analytical formulas are established which relate the exact solutions to corresponding time-independent auxiliary solutions. Explicit analytical expressions were developed for the instantaneous pulse problem formulated from the generalized Dirac delta function for situations with first-type or third-type inlet boundary conditions of both finite and semi-infinite domains. The developed generalized equations were evaluated computationally against other specific solutions available from the literature. Results showed the consistency of our expressions.
