Introduction: Transport phenomenon, diffusion, dispersion, advection,
adsorption, conservative and nonconservative pollutants, sources and
sinkspoint and non-point. Governing Equations for flow and transport in
surface and subsurface waters, chemical and biological process models,
simplified models for lakes, streams, and estuaries. Model complexity:
Selection and development, model resolution, coupled and uncoupled
models, linear and nonlinear models, solution techniques, data
requirements for calibration, application and evaluation of environmental
control, bio-remediation. Numerical models: FDM, FEM and Finite volume
techniques, explicit vs. implicit methods, numerical errors, and stability.
High resolution techniques. Stream quality modelling using QUAL2E
Groundwater transport modelling using SUTRA.
