This course aims at providing a firm basis for the modelling of complex flow and transport processes in the subsurface relevant to the environmental problems in soil and groundwater. This includes transport of soluble components of organic liquids, viruses, colloids, and heat as well as basics of multiphase flow. A number of important methods for remediation of soil and groundwater are discussed in detail. The students will develop the ability to set up mathematical models for quantitative description of complex subsurface transport phenomena. Through a class project, the use of PMWIN package for modeling flow and solute transport will be taught.
