Aim: (1) to obtain a thorough understanding of physical flow and transport processes in heterogeneous groundwater aquifers and (2) to develop and apply numerical codes for flow and transport.
Contents: Non-stationary flow, non-stationary flow to wells, streamfunctions, numerical methods for solving groundwater flow equations, programming and testing of two-dimensional models based on head and/or stream function formulations, geological heterogeneity, introduction to geostatistics, mechanisms for transport of dissolved solutes, advection and dispersion, introduction to stochastic dispersion, simple retardation and degradation, solute transport modelling, density-dependent flow and mixing.
