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. The Second Edition incorporates recent advances in contaminant transport theory and simulation techniques, adding the following to the original text:
-An expanded discussion of the role of aquifer heterogeneity in
controlling solute transport
-A new section on the dual-domain mass transfer approach as an
alternative to the classical advection-dispersion model
-Additional chemical processes and reactions in the discussion of
reactive transport
-A discussion of the TVD (total-variation-diminishing) approach to
transport solution
-An entirely new Part III containing two chapters on simulation of
flow and transport under variable water density and under variable
saturation, respectively, and a third chapter on the use of the
simulation-optimization approach in remediation system design
Applied Contaminant Transport Modeling, Second Edition remains the premier reference for practicing hydrogeologists, environmental scientists, engineers, and graduate students in the field. 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
