EAPS 58900 - Numerical Modeling Of Ground Water Systems


Credit Hours: 3.00. Investigates the general theory and application of numerical solutions of partial differential equations of flow through porous media and the simulation of ground water flow by computer methods, using both finite difference and finite element methods with a short introduction to boundary integral equation methods. Both transient and steady-state flow; confined, unconfined, and semi-confined flow are treated. Solute transport simulation methods include random walk, method of characteristics, and other methods. Classroom teaching and “hands on” computer experience is utilized. Offered in alternate years. Prior course work in hydrogeology and differential equations is required. Typically offered Spring.
