This monograph lies in the joint areas of applied mathematics and hydrogeology. It aims to introduce various mathematical techniques and ideas to applied scientists while revealing to applied mathematicians some interesting new equations and examples.

Klappentext

This textbook develops the basic ideas of transport models in hydrogeology, including diffusion-dispersion processes, advection, and adsorption or reaction. The book serves as an excellent text or supplementary reading in courses in applied mathematics, contaminant hydrology, ground water modeling, or hydrogeology.
