Abstract: Numerical simulation of advective‐dispersive contaminant transport is carried out by using high‐order compact finite difference schemes combined with second‐order MacCormack and fourth‐order Runge‐Kutta schemes. Both of the two schemes have accuracy of sixth‐order in space. A sixth‐order MacCormack scheme is proposed for the first time within this study. For the aim of demonstrating efficiency and high‐order accuracy of the current methods, some numerical experiments have been done. The schemes are implemented to solve two test problems with known exact solutions. It has been exhibited that the methods are capable of succeeding high accuracy and efficiency with minimal computational effort, by comparisons of the computed results with exact solutions.
