Creating numerical groundwater models of field problems requires careful attention to describing the problem domain, selecting boundary conditions, assigning model parameters, and calibrating the model. This unique text describes the science and art of applying numerical models of groundwater flow and advective transport of solutes.
Explains how to formulate a conceptual model of a system and how to translate it into a numerical model
Includes the application of modeling principles with special attention to the finite difference flow codes PLASM and MODFLOW, and the finite-element code AQUIFEM-1
Covers model calibration, verification, and validation
Discusses pathline analysis for tracking contaminants with reference to newly developed particle tracking codes
Makes extensive use of case studies and problems
Graduate students and practicing professionals in groundwater hydrology, civil engineers and environmental consultants, and USGS and state agencies dealing with groundwater.
Introduction. Equations and Numerical Methods. The Conceptual Model and Grid Design. Boundaries. Sources and Sinks. Profile Models. Special Needs for Transient Simulations. Model Execution and the Calibration Process. Documenting and Reporting Your Modeling Study. Postaudits: How Good Are Predictions? Particle Tracking of Groundwater Flow and Advective Transport of Contaminants. Advanced Topics. Chapter References. Index.
