Modeling Tools for Environmental Engineers and Scientists

This book demonstrates how environmental professionals, faculty, and students with minimal computer programming skills can develop computer-based mathematical models for a wide range of natural and engineered environmental systems. The author illustrates how a syntax-free authoring software can be adapted to create customized, high-level models of environmental phenomena in groundwater, soil, aquatic, and atmospheric systems, and in engineered reactors. Modeling Tools for Environmental Engineers and Scientists reviews material balance, reactor configurations, and fate and transport of environmental contaminants. Using examples, it illustrates how to apply modeling software to analyzing and simulating many environmental situations.
