T.. %J Salesian Journal on Information Systems %D 2010 %I Faculdade Salesiana Maria Auxiliadora %X In this paper, we present a new analytical method for solving problems in water pollution. The method provides a simulation using two differential constraints of first order, from which are found auto-B cklund transformations for the equation in two-dimensional advective-diffusive steady state. The main feature of the proposed formulation is the reduced processing time required to obtain the analytical solutions. Results of numerical simulations are presented in graphical format. %K Mathematical modelling %K simulation %K spread of pollutants %K algebric processing %K Lie-B cklund transformations %U http://www.fsma.edu.br/si/edicao6/FSMA_SI_2010_2_Principal_4.pdf
