Applied Stochastic Hydrogeology

Covers the fundamental and practical aspects of stochastic hydrogeology, beginning with the basics of hydrogeological site characterization, the concept of Space Random Functions (SRFs), and many other concepts including the Lagrangian and Eulerian approaches to transport. Succeeding chapters address the fundamentals of stochastic site characterization; estimation and simulation; the flow equation and the hydraulic head; the velocity field; stochastic tools for modeling transport of tracers in heterogeneous media; principles, models, and applications of the Eulerian and the Lagrangian approaches to modeling the transport of solutes; characterization and flow processes and transport in the vadose zone; and quantifying and accounting for uncertainty. Suitable for established hydrogeologists and for new practitioners, researchers, and graduate students in the fields of engineering and sciences. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
