Description Hydrodynamic and pollutant transport models are useful tools for evaluating remediation options for polluted water bodies. These models
span the range from highly theoretical, fine resolution, physically-based designs to lumped, black-box representations of real world
phenomena.
This book examines the numerical approaches used in hydrodynamic and pollutant transport modeling. First, the theory and
physical basis of transport and mixing in lakes and coastal waters are provided. Methodologies that use a three-dimensional (3D) approach
to predicting the fate and transport of pollutants are presented and this is followed by a presentation of alternatives to 3D circulation
modeling as well as new advances in the field. These alternatives offer near 3D accuracy but without the computational burden. Illustrations
of the calibration and verification of these models using laboratory data, as well as, field data are also provided. The models are applied
to a diverse array of study sites ranging from The Great Lakes in North America to the coastal areas of Northern Crete.
Audience
Civil and Environmental Engineering consulting firms dealing with water quality in lakes and coastal regions; professionals and upper
division undergraduate and graduate level Geophysical, Environmental and Civil Engineering students
