Modeling of Groundwater Systems

3 credits · Graduate

Basic concepts in analytical and numerical modeling of groundwater systems are introduced. Fundamental equations for flow in aquifers and mathematical statement of the groundwater forecasting problems are studied. The hydraulic approach to flow in aquifers and the continuum approach to flow through porous media are discussed. Modeling techniques for groundwater quality problems dealing with pollutant movement due to hydrodynamic dispersion are also studied. PREREQUISITES: CIVL 4410.03
