Elsevier Environmental Hydraulics - Hydrodynamic Models Book

Environmental Hydraulics provides a comprehensive look at hydrodynamic and pollutant transport models used to evaluate remediation options for polluted water bodies. This volume from the Developments in Water Science series covers the full spectrum of modeling techniques, ranging from highly theoretical, fine resolution, physically-based designs to lumped, black-box representations of real-world phenomena. Readers will gain a deep understanding of the numerical approaches required for effective modeling. The text begins by establishing the theory and physical basis of transport and mixing specifically within lakes and coastal waters. It then transitions into advanced methodologies, including three-dimensional (3D) approaches used to predict how pollutants move and behave in these environments. This resource is designed for those needing to understand the complex mechanics of water science and environmental protection.
