Abstract
A mathematical model is developed of an abrupt pressure impact applied to a compressible fluid with solute, flowing through nondeformable , saturated porous media. Nondimensional forms of the macroscopic balance equations of the solute mass and of the fluid mass and momentum, lead to dominant forms of these equations. At the very first time period of the onset of pressure change, pressure is proven to be distributed uniformly within the affected domain, while solute remains unaffected. During the second time period, fluid's momentum balance equation conforms to a wave form, while solute mass balance equation conforms to an equation of advection transport. A simplified 1-D analytical solution of this solute transport equation yields an
