A coupled lattice Boltzmann model(CLBM) for 2-D advection and anisotropic dis-
persion equation(AADE) and shallow water equations is formulated and implemented.
Multi-relaxation-time (MRT) method is used for the flow field and the L-basis two-
relaxation-time (TRT) method is used for the pollutant field. The relaxation time for
the antisymmetric part of the pollutant deviates from a constant for flows with variable
free surface water depth. Numerical tests show that this scheme strictly obeys conserva-
tion of mass and momentum. And the model has a better accuracy when zD is closer to 1/2 and ze is closer to sum(zd/9). Excellent agreement is obtained between numerical predictions
and analytical solutions in pure dispersion problem and advection-dispersion problem.
Comparison with finite different method indicates that the variation of the free surface
water depth does not affect the mass and momentum conservation of the model and that
the model has the ability to simulate complex bed topography problem. Comparison with
finite volume method in the 2-D steady flow around a rectangular column with non-slip
boundary shows that the LB scheme has the capacity to solve the complex advection-
dispersion problems in shallow water.
