Subsurface Flow and Transport: A Stochastic Approach (International Hydrology Series) - Hardcover

Synopsis

This book describes a major method in modeling the flow of water and transport of solutes in the subsurface, a subject of considerable interest in the exploitation and preservation of water resources. The stochastic approach allows the uncertainty that affects various properties and parameters to be incorporated in models of subsurface flow and transport. These much more realistic models are of greater use in, for example, modeling the transport and buildup of contaminants in groundwater. The book is a valuable reference work for graduate students, research workers and professionals in government and public institutions, and for those interested in hydrology, environmental issues, soil physics, petroleum engineering, geological engineering and applied mathematics.

About this title

Book Description

This book describes a major method in modelling the flow of water and transport of solutes in the subsurface, a subject of considerable interest in the exploitation and preservation of water resources. The volume is based on the second Kovacs Colloquium organised by the International Hydrological Programme (UNESCO) and the International Association of Hydrological Sciences. The book is a valuable reference work for graduate students, research workers and professionals in government and public institutions, interested in hydrology, environmental issues, soil physics, petroleum engineering, geological engineering and applied mathematics.

Review

"...an excellent presentation by Professor Shlomo Neuman, of the University of Arizona, on a view to the future of stochastic approaches to subsurface flow and contaminant transport...will provide guidelines for research needs for many years." Jacob Bear, Transport in Porous Media

"...an excellent exposition of this important subject, and should be of interest to all those who are engaged in modeling flow and transport in the subsurface...All chapters include useful lists of references." Jacob Bear, Transport in Porous Media

"The book is written in a logical, simple, and clear way; it can be used by researchers in hydrology and applied mathematics, geologic engineering, environmental issues, soil, physics and petroleum." Galal Hassan Galal, The Leading Edge
