Hydrogeological models. Physical and mathematical modelling (numerical methods – finite elements mehod, finite differencies method). Types of hydrogeological models and applications. Modelling of subsurface water flow in saturated and unsaturated zone. Steps of modelling protocol – conceptual model, grid design, initial and boundary conditions.
Data requirements for steady state and transient models. Calibration of models - trial and error, automatic calibration, inverse models. Modelling of solutes transport in saturated zone. Transport mechanisms, governing equations. Advective transport, transport with dispersion and reactions. Fully reactive models.
Uncertainty analysis. Utilization of mathematical modeling in risk analyses.
