Lehrinhalte
Introduction to Groundwater Modelling introduces basic theoretical principles of groundwater modelling. It will be discussed (i) what kind of groundwater models exist and what they are needed for, (ii) which mathematical concepts they are based on, (iii) what boundary and initial conditions are and (iv) which numerical solution methods exist. This will be accompanied by practical exercises on groundwater flow (MODFLOW), visualization and particle tracking (PMPATH), and solute transport (MT3D).
