Exact analytical solutions for an equation describing advection, dispersion, first-order decay, and rate-limited sorption of a solute in a steady, hemispherical or spherically symmetric, divergent flow field are presented for constant concentration and constant flux boundary conditions in a porous medium. The partial differential equation describing transport is a confluent hypergeometric equation that may be solved with variable substitution and Laplace transform, and the solutions are expressed by parabolic cylindrical functions. The novel solutions derived here may be applied to predict concentration distributions in space and time for porous media transport in a spherically symmetric flow field or for the special case where injection is just below a confining layer (hemispherical flow). The analytical solutions can be used to simulate wastewater injection from short-screened wells into thick formations or to analyze tracer tests that use short-screened wells to create approximately spherical flow fields in thick formations.
