CE 5364 Groundwater Transport Processes

Catalog Description

5364 Groundwater Transport Processes (3:3:0)..
Study of sources and fates of contamination in groundwater. Mathematical modeling of reactive and nonreactive pollutant movement. Aquifer restoration strategies.

CE 5364 introduces fundamental descriptions of the physical and chemical processes that control the movement of contaminants in the subsurface. Analytical solutions to model fate and transport are presented, as are numerical solutions (computer models) that represent typical tools used in practice.

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:

Use an appropriate analytical solution to predict the fate and transport of a dissolved constituient in the subsurface

Construct a 2D numerical model to predict the fate and transport of a dissolved constituient in the subsurface

Conceptually design and estimate the performance of a contaminant recovery system

Describe the behavior of seperate phase (NAPL) constituients in the subsurface
