Modeling Flow Transport in Soil and Groundwater Systems

4 Credit hours

Mathematical models will be formulated and applied to simulate water flow and chemical transport in soil and groundwater systems. Soil spatial variability and heterogeneity will be considered in the modeling process. Using and comparing models, students will obtain the capability to transfer a physical problem to a mathematical model, to use numerical methods such as the finite element method to solve the mathematical problem, and to correctly interpret the numerical outputs. Students will develop and program numerical solutions for select problems and will utilize existing codes for modeling a variety of other comprehensive problems. Cross listed with MATH 5110. Prerequisites: MATH 2310, recommend 3310 or consent of instructor. Familiar with programming in either FORTRAN or PASCAL, or C. (Offered fall semester)
