Second Edition (2002)
SSP&A
Software is proud to announce the availability of the second edition of
Applied Contaminant Transport Modeling -- Theory and Practice, a
transport modeling textbook. This book was written by Dr. Chunmiao Zheng,
professor of Geology at the University of Alabama and Mr. Gordon
Bennett, a senior Associate at SSP&A.
This resource finally brings together, in a single volume, both the
theoretical and practical aspects of contaminant transport modeling.
The book is intended as a self-study guide and reference volume for
practicing hydrogeologists, environmental scientists and engineers, as
well as for graduate-level course work in contaminant transport
modeling. The materials explain concepts and numerical techniques in
plain terms so an advanced mathematical background is not required.
Numerous examples and case studies are included to facilitate the
transition from theory to practice.
Written by two experts with extensive
practical experience in the field, Applied Contaminant Transport Modeling
clearly explains:
-
Factors controlling the transport and
fate of solutes in the subsurface, including advective and dispersive
transport and chemical reaction, and the equations governing these
processes.
-
Development of mathematical models of
solute transport regimes and representative analytical solutions to
the transport equation.
-
Particle tracking as a practical tool
for solving many types of field problems.
-
Development of Eulerian- Lagrangian
methods for solving advection-dispersion-reaction equations.
-
Step-by-step development and application
of solute transport models - emphasizing problem formulation, model
setup, parameter selection, calibration, and sensitivity analyses.
-
Sources of uncertainty in transport
simulation, and methods of evaluating and managing uncertainty.
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
presents detailed case histories illustrating how transport models are
applied in real-life situations, including landfills, hazardous waste
sites, and contaminated aquifers.
The software that accompanies the second edition
of Applied Contaminant Transport Modeling (2002) can be obtained at
www.mt3d.org.
This web site contains a collection of companion software and
supplementary instructional materials. The companion software
collection is intended for readers of Applied Contaminant Transport
Modeling to explore the concepts and techniques discussed in the text.
