Applied Flow and Solute Transport Modeling in Aquifers

by Vedat Batu

This book addresses essentially all currently applied groundwater flow and contaminant transport solutions, combines theory with practical applications, covers both analytical and numerical solutions, and includes solutions to real world contaminant transport modeling scenarios. Batu approaches the subject from the practicing consultant's point of view and elucidates the difficulties real world professionals have faced in solving aquifer flow and contamination problems.

Applied Groundwater Modeling

by Mary Anderson and William Woessner

Creating numerical groundwater models of field problems requires careful attention to describing the problem domain, selecting boundary conditions, assigning model parameters, and calibrating the model. This unique text describes the science and art of applying numerical models of groundwater flow and advective transport of solutes.

Applied Contaminant Transport Modeling (2nd ed)

by Chunmiao Zheng and Gordon D. Bennett

Applied Contaminant Transport Modeling is the first resource designed to provide coverage of the discipline’s basic principles, including the theories behind solute transport in groundwater, common numerical techniques for solving transport equations, and step-by-step guidance on the development and use of field-scale modeling.

In 1998, in recognition of their work on the first edition, the authors were honored with the John Hem Excellence in Science and Engineering Award of the National Ground Water Association.

A Practical Guide to Groundwater and Solute Transport Modeling

by Karlheinz Spitz and Joanna Moreno

Focusing on modeling applications, this outstanding reference provides a step-by-step, non-mathematical approach to constructing and using realistic workable groundwater models on a daily basis. Extensive detailed drawings, case studies, practical examples, and sample models illustrate important concepts. Includes data on hydrogeologic features and pollutants plus a glossary of terms.

Groundwater Modeling Using Geographical Information Systems

by George F. Pinder

Groundwater Modeling Using Geographical Information Systems covers fundamental information on flow and mass transport modeling and demonstrates how GIS technology makes these models and analyses more accurate than ever before. Enhanced with more than 150 illustrations and screen captures, Groundwater Modeling Using Geographical Information Systems is a fundamental book for civil engineers, hydrologists, environmental engineers, geologists, and students in these fields, as well as software engineers working on GIS applications and environmental attorneys and regulators. When used in combination with the free modeling software, this book provides an excellent student text.

Optimal Management of Flow in Groundwater Systems

by David Ahlfeld and Mary Mulligan

A book/CD-ROM introducing methods for combining simulation models of groundwater flow with methods of mathematical optimization. The resulting software, MODOFC, and management model provide valuable tools for optimizing the performance of groundwater systems. Describes mathematics underlying the method and offers a step-by-step introduction to practical application. The CD-ROM contains a MODOFC software package and associated documentation that implements many methods described in the book.

 

Introduction to Groundwater Modeling: Finite Difference and Finite Element Methods

by Herbert F. Wang and Mary P. Anderson

This text presents an overview of fundamental concepts and applications of computerized groundwater modeling. The book covers both finite difference and finite element methods and includes practical sample programs that demonstrate theoretical points described in the text. Each chapter is followed by problems, notes, and references to additional information. The text contains sample FORTRAN programs which demonstrate problem-solving techniques and lists problems at the end of each chapter.
 

Analytic Element Modeling of Groundwater Flow

by H. M. Haitjema

Where field data is limited, the analytic element method (AEM) is rapidly becoming the modeling method of choice, especially given the availability of affordable modeling software. This book provides all the basics necessary to approach AEM successfully including a presentation of fundamental concepts and a thorough introduction to Dupuit-Forchheimer flow. This book is unique in its emphasis on the actual use of analytic element models. Real-world examples complement material presented in the text. An educational version of the analytic element program GFLOW is included with the text.
Modeling Groundwater Flow and Pollution: With Computer Programs for Sample Cases (Theory and Applications of Transport in Porous Media)

by Jacob Bear and Arnold Verruijt

This textbook is devoted to the building and use of mathematical and numerical models for the analysis of groundwater flow and the transport of pollution by moving groundwater.

Introduction to Modeling of Transport Phenomena in Porous Media

by Jacob Bear and Yehuda Bachmat

Provides theoretical background for engineers and scientists engaged in modeling transport phenomena in porous media in connection with various engineering projects, and can serve as a text for senior and graduate courses.

 

A Mathematical Primer on Groundwater Flow: An Introduction to the Mathematical and Physical Concepts of Saturated Flow in the Subsurface

by John F. Hermance

Organized into three parts, the book begins with a study of the fundamental relation of groundwater flow with discussions that include the hydrologic nature of the subsurface, plus Darcy's Law and three dimensional flow; next, it looks at steady-state flow deriving mathematical formulas for the refraction of flux as well as steady-state flow in unconfined aquifers; then it concludes with a review of transient flow, delving into periodic and aperiodic solutions in a confined layer to the diffusion equation for hydraulic head and transient well discharge from a confined aquifer.
