Volume

[v. 2] : CMP : uk ISBN 9781853122811

Description

This title is the second volume in an edited series of publications on computer methods for simulating environmental pollution and its adverse effects. It presents a selection of invited papers covering environmental modelling topics. Each chapter has been authored by a leading scientist in the field and provides the reader with a discussion of the mathematical and numerical simulation of environmental phenomena. In addition, this volume provides a critical review of software available for environmental simulations.

Table of Contents

  • Introduction to environmental modelling
  • aerial spray drift modelling
  • the development of a metropolitan airshed pollution model
  • lagrangian particle dispersion modelling in mesoscale applications
  • survey of long-range transport models
  • a new method of rainfall-runoff modelling and its applications in catchment hydrology
  • finite element modelling of the transport of reactive contaminants in variably saturated soils with LEA and non-LEA sorption

Description

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.
