A strong teaching tool, Analytical Modeling of Solute Transport in Groundwater presents the models used to describe groundwater contaminant behavior and systematically applies them to clearly demonstrate how naturally occurring physical, chemical, and biological processes affect the transport of contaminants in the subsurface. The book includes:
- A companion website with a downloadable modeling tool that is integrated with the text, allowing the reader to conduct simulations that graphically demonstrate the impact of processes on groundwater contaminant behavior
- A compendium of analytical solutions along with examples of how these solutions are derived from the governing model equations
- Example illustrations showing the effect of process parameter values on remediation efficacy, as well as how simple analytical models can be used to interpret the results of field observations
Researchers, students, and professionals in environmental engineering and hydrogeology studying the fate, transport, and remediation of contaminants in the subsurface will find the collected material useful in their studies. In addition, a set of MATLAB code files is available for download (sign in required).
