Learning outcomes
The course aims to make the student understand the phenomena of transport, diffusion and reaction that influence the various contaminants placed in a groundwater system and put them in a position to use advanced simulation tools to study real situations and plan protection interventions. / or remediation of such systems.
Course contents
1. Advective transport in porous media. Darcy's law. Dispersive transport and the advection-dispersion equation.
2. Transport and chemical reactions. Adsorption. Ionic exchange. Irreversible reactions of the first order. Multispecial reactive transport.
3. Mathematical models of transport in solution and analytical resolutions. Initial conditions. Boundary conditions. Derivation of a numerical model starting from differential equations. Applications
4. Tutorials: Use of a numerical model to the PC with development of application cases.
Teaching methods
Frontal lectures, including laboratories.
The exam includes guided exercises with computer models so paticipation at least to the latter is strongly recommended.
