Tusi se faʻaauau mo lenei parakalafa - O le Marine Unsaturated Model (MARUN model) o se lua-dimensional (vertical slice) finite element model e mafai ona faʻataʻitaʻia le femalagaaʻiga o le vai ma solutes i totonu o le saturated-unsaturated porous media a o amanaʻia le aʻafiaga o le solute concentrate i luga o le vai density ma le viscosity, ona o le masima o le masima ma sili atu ona viscous nai lo le vai suamalie. O faamatalaga auiliili o le faataitaiga MARUN o loo maua i (Boufadel et al. 1998) ma (Boufadel et al. 1999). Na faʻaaogaina le faʻataʻitaʻiga e suʻesuʻe ai le tafe o le suavai i totonu o vaʻa ma pa (Boufadel et al. 1999, Naba et al. 2002), o le femalagaaʻiga o le suavai pe a uma le faʻamaʻiina (Boufadel et al. 1999) ma (Geng and M.C. 2015), faʻasalaga o le vai i lalo o le sami (Li et al. 2008), ma le hydrodynamics o le matafaga e faʻamatala ai le tumau o nisi o le suauʻu Exxon Valdez
i matafaga o Alaska (Li ma Boufadel 2010).
