Osnova předmětu

1/ Model types. Physical and mathematical modeling - deterministic and stochastic models. Subdivision of deterministic models - analytical, semi-analytical, numerical. Numerical methods - finite element method, final differences.
2/ Types of models in terms of simulated processes - groundwater flow modeling in a saturated and unsaturated zone, flow in a domain with variable saturation. Transport processes - transport of solutes (advection, dispersion, sorption, degradation, chemical reactions), heat transport - convection, conduction. Governing equations of simulated processes.
3/ Methodological approach - creation of conceptual model, grid design, boundary and internal conditions, initial conditions.
4 / Steady state and transient models - specific modelling requirements (data inputs), time steps and periods.
5 / Calibration of mathematical models. Inverse models. Sensitivity analysis.
6 / Application of modeling of groundwater flow, transport of dissolved substances and heat in risk analyzes and feasibility studies.
