About this title

Synopsis

Environmental models, when properly developed, tested and used, are capable of simulating conditions that are difficult or impossible to understand otherwise. An example is the simulation of potential pollution effects caused by the impact of planned urban or industrial growth or the benefits that can be anticipated from planned reductions in emissions. Since the aim is to predict the future, little help can be provided by current pollution measurements; therefore, computer simulations are becoming increasingly important in making these important assessments. "Environmental Modelling - Volume 1" is the first in a series of edited monographs on computer methods for simulating environmental pollution and its effects. It presents a carefully arranged collection of invited reviews covering a broad range of environmental modelling topics. Each chapter has been written by a leading scientist in the field and is intended to provide the reader with an organized and consistent discussion on the field of mathematical and numerical simulation of environmental phenomena. In addition to the discussion of the mathematical, numerical, physical, chemical, biological and ecological aspects of environmental phenomena, the book provides a critical review of the available software for environmental simulation. It will be of interest to environmental engineers concerned with pollution modelling.
