Analytical models for virus transport in saturated, homogeneous porous media are developed.The models account for three-dimensional dispersion in a uniform flow field, and first-orderinactivation of suspended and deposited viruses with different inactivation rate coefficients. Virusdeposition onto solid particles is described by two different processes: nonequilibrium adsorptionwhich is applicable to viruses behaving as solutes; and colloid filtration which is applicable to virusesbehaving as colloids. The governing virus transport equations are solved analytically by employingLaplace/Fourier transform techniques. Instantaneous and continuous/periodic virus loadings froma point source are examined.
