Numerical methods (Winter
2003)
Teaching at The
University
of Western Australia
Course Title:
Numerical
Modeling of Subsurface Flow and Transport Processes
Course Level:
Post-graduate
Topics Covered:
Numerical solution to coupled differential equations, finite-difference
solution to groundwater flow and transport equations, solution to
unsaturated
flow equations, practical application of MODFLOW, MODPATH, MT3DMS, and
RT3D codes to field problems, and introduction to GIS and GMS.
Course Title:
Environmental
Engineering Design
Course Level: 2nd
year undergraduate
Topics Covered:
Introduction to engineering and environmental engineering design
principles,
environmental impact assessment, computer applications in design and
data
collection and research. Discussions based on one or two
case-studies
will be a part of this course. This year the discussions will be
based on the groundwater problem in Woburn, Massachusetts, discussed in
the novel "Civil Action" by Jonathan Harr. Also, the
students
will be expected to develop a river management plan based on a simple
DO-BOD
analysis using the Streeter-Phelps water quality model.
Course Title:
Environmental
Mechanics
Course Level: 3rd
year undergraduate
Topics Covered:
Basic groundwater course that covers the fundamentals of saturated and
unsaturated groundwater flow equations, contaminant transport
mechanisms,
and well flow equations.
Course Title:
Subsurface
Hydrology Design
Course Level: 4th
year undergraduate
Topics Covered:
Applied course that focuses on the development of site characterization
methods including pump and slug test procedures, introduction to
groundwater
remediation methods, application of commercial groundwater codes for
simple
design problems. This course will emphasize on field-scale design
issues such as conceptual modeling, development of boundary conditions,
and grid design.
