| Kurzbeschreibung | The course is based on the course 'Groundwater I' and is a prerequisite for further applications of groundwater flow and contaminant transport models. |
| Lernziel | The course should enable students to understand and apply methods and tools for groundwater flow and transport modelling. the student should be able to a) formulate practical flow and contaminant transport problems. b) solve steady-state and transient flow and transport problems in 2 and 3 spatial dimensions using numerical codes based on the finite difference method and the finite element methods. c) solve simple inverse flow problems for parameter estimation given measurements. d) assess simple multiphase flow problems. e) assess spatial variability of parameters and use of stochastic techniques in this task. f) solve simple flow problems affected by fluid density. g) assess simple coupled reactive transport problems. |
