Environmental Transport Processes

Catalog description

This course will present the fundamental processes that control the transport of constituent substances in fluids and their implications for a variety of applications in environmental systems. Basic physical conservation principles will be introduced and initially applied to understand the behavior of important classes of environmental flows. Fundamental hydrodynamic transport processes will be analyzed under various boundary and initial conditions. The inter-relationship of hydrodynamic transport with biological and biogeochemical processes will be discussed.
