As the number of the subdisciplines has increased and as each has become more complex and quantitative  the problem of integrating their concepts and contributions into a coherent overall interpretation has become progressively more difficult. To an increasing degree transport simulation has emerged as an answer to this problem  and the transport model has become a vehicle for integrating the vast amount of field data from a variety of sources and for understanding the relationship of various physical  chemical  and biological processes. Applied Contaminant Transport Modeling is the first resource designed to provide coverage of the disciplines basic principles  including the theories behind solute transport in groundwater  common numerical techniques for solving transport equations  and step-by-step guidance on the development and use of field-scale modeling. The Second Edition incorporates recent advances in contaminant transport theory and simulation techniques  adding the following to the original text: -An expanded discussion of the role of aquifer heterogeneity in controlling solute transport -A new section on the dual-domain mass transfer approach as an alternative to the classical advection-dispersion model -Additional chemical processes and reactions in the discussion of reactive transport -A discussion of the TVD (total-variation-diminishing) approach to transport solution -An entirely new Part III containing two chapters on simulation of flow and transport under variable water density and under variable saturation  respectively  and a third chapter on the use of the simulation-optimization approach in remediation system design Applied Contaminant Transport Modeling  Second Edition remains the premier reference for practicing hydrogeologists  environmental scientists  engineers  and graduate students in the field. In 1998  in recognition of their work on the first edition  the authors were honored with the John Hem Excellence in Science and Engineering Award of the National Ground Water Association\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67904746455093,"sku":"ByrdShop_0471384771","price":144.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780471384779.jpg?v=1793851512","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/applied-contaminant-transport-modeling-9780471384779","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
