Solute Transport Modelling. An Introduction to Models and Solution
Strategies. Ed.: Rausch, Randolf; Schäfer, Wolfgang; Therrien, René; Wagner, Christian.
2005.
Synopsis: Transport
models have become an essential tool to investigate groundwater quality
problems. This book presents the fundamental hydraulic, hydrochemical and
nume rical concepts that are required for the sound and efficient
application of solute transport models in groundwater studies. Advection,
dispersion and diffusion, which are the main physical transport processes,
are first introduced, followed by the derivation of the advection-dispersion
equation. A separate chapter is d edicated to multispecies reactive
transport modelling, presenting both theory a nd simulation examples.
Special methods used to simulate transport in fractured geological material
are also presented.
The authors focus on the detailed presentation of numerical methods commonly use d in transport models, to provide practitioners with a sound theoretical basis f or transport model applications. Grid-based methods are presented, including exp licit and implicit finite differences, finite elements and finite volume methods. Particle tracking techniques are also covered, among them the method of charac teristics and the random-walk method. This professional text addresses academics, scientists, engineers, hydrologists and hydrogeol ogists interested in the application of transport models in hydrogeology, geoecology, hydrology, geography, environmental engineering, hydraulic engineering and water economics.
