WAT-E2010 - Groundwater Hydrology D, Lecture, 2.11.2021-16.12.2021

Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After completing the course the student

  • understands the theoretical background of groundwater flow [knowledge]
  • understands the theoretical framework for the mathematical description of advection and dispersion in solute transport [knowledge]
  • can construct and apply groundwater models to simple dimensioning problems [skill]
  • can contribute as a team member of a group to a larger project work [skill]
  • is aware of the assumptions and sources of error in the numerical groundwater flow and solute transport modeling [identity]

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Basic principles of flow in aquifers. One-dimensional and two-dimensional modelling of groundwater flow in confined and unconfined aquifers. Assessment of yield of an aquifer. Advection, diffusion, and dispersion in solute transport. Finite difference method in numerical solutions of groundwater and solute transport equations. Note that the course has a methodological emphasis with a focus on numerical groundwater and solute transport modelling.

Assessment Methods and Criteria

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Lectures, weekly exercises, planning assgnment (group work), exam.  Assessment of the course is based on the exercises, the planning assignment and the exam. Relative weights between the different components are given in the beginning of the course.
