Kurzbeschreibung | The course is based on the course 'Groundwater I' and is a prerequisite for a deeper understanding of groundwater flow and contaminant transport problems with a strong emphasis on numerical modeling. | |||||
Lernziel | The course should enable students to understand advanced concepts of groundwater flow and transport and to apply 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) assess simple coupled reactive transport problems. | |||||

Kurzbeschreibung | Modeling the emissions, transport, partitioning and transformation/degradation of chemical contaminants in air, water and soil. | |||||
Lernziel | This course is intended for students who are interested in the environmental fate and transport of volatile and semi-volatile organic chemicals and exposure to pollutants in environmental media including air, water, soil and biota. The course focuses on the theory and application of mass-balance models of environmental pollutants. These models are quantitative tools for describing, understanding, and predicting the way pollutants interact with the environment. Important topics include thermodynamic and kinetic descriptions of chemical behavior in environmental systems; mechanisms of chemical degradation in air and other media; novel approaches to modeling chemical fate in a variety of environments, including lakes and rivers, generic regions, and at the global scale, and application of mass balance modeling principles to describe bioaccumulation of pollutants by fish and mammals. | |||||
Inhalt | Application of mass balance principles to chemicals in a system of coupled environmental media. Measurement and estimation of physico-chemical properties that determine the environmental behavior of chemicals. Thermodynamic and kinetic controls on the behavior of pollutants. Modeling environmental persistence, bioaccumulation and long-range transport potential of chemicals, including a review of available empirical data on various degradation processes. Current issues in multimedia contaminant fate modeling and a case study of the student's choice. | |||||
Skript | Material to support the lectures will be distributed during the course. | |||||
