  • Numerical Models in Groundwater Pollution

    by Karel Kovarik ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Mathematical models are the effective tool to solve different tasks predicting pollutant movement. The finite difference method is the oldest, but still remains widely used in hydrogeological practice. However, this method is not very useful to construct the new transport models because it cannot approximate the shape of remediation elements exactly. Therefore the book is concerned with the FEM ...

  • Shallow Geophysical Mass Flows down Arbitrary Topography

    Model Equations in Topography-fitted Coordinates, Numerical Simulation and Back-calculations of Disastrous Events

    by Yih-Chin Tai, Chih-Yu Kuo, Ioana Luca ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Geophysical mass flows, such as landslides, avalanches or debris flows, are frequent mass movement processes in mountain areas and often cause disastrous damage. This book lays a foundation for formulating the depth-averaged equations describing the shallow geophysical mass flows over non-trivial topography. It consists of the detailed derivation of the model equations. The stimulating numerical ... Read more
