ERTH-6730

Groundwater Contaminant Transport

Theoretical and applied study of solute transport phenomena. Analytical and numerical solutions of the advection-dispersion equation and other techniques for solving groundwater contaminant transport problems. Issues of contamination sources, basic chemical concerns during transport, and monitoring and remediation are also covered. Transport modeling is also introduced. Some field trips are possible. Prerequisites: MATH-4600 or equivalent, ERTH-4710 or ERTH-6710 or equivalent, or permission of instructor. Spring term annually.
