Mathematical Modeling of Groundwater Pollution - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book systematically introduces theories, methods, and applications of modeling contaminant transport in groundwater. It can be used as a textbook at the graduate level or a reference book for hydrogeologists, geochemists, petroleum engineers, and environmental engineers. It is also an interesting book for applied mathematicians. The book covers all main aspects and the latest developments in the field of groundwater quality modeling. The major emphasis is on solving practical three-dimensional advection-dispersion problems. The FORTRAN program which is given in the appendix can be used to simulate contaminant transport in either steady state or transient flow fields. This program is useful for teaching as well as for solving practical problems. The program is available for teachers from Springer via our web site.
