Fundamentals of Environmental Discharge Modeling

An indispensable resource for mechanical, civil , and environmental engineers, Fundamentals of Environmental Discharge Modeling examines engineering and mathematical models for documenting and approving mechanical and environmental discharges. The author emphasizes engineering design considerations in respect to their construction of waste water and atmospheric discharges. Topics include: the fundamentals of turbulent jet mixing, dilution concepts, and mixing zone concepts; diffuser configurations and head loss calculations; and different modeling techniques and accepted models. It contains numerous case studies and examples.
