GW flow&cont.transp

On this page you may find some information about the Course GW Flow and Contaminant Transport Modeling and also for the PGE course Geothermal systemns and Contaminant transport. You may freely download any material and use it using correct citation! Thank You!

Please read the followings about the course: gw_modeling_specs_2019.pdf

Course time schedule: timesched_2019.pdf

Course completion:

To complete the course students should complete several homeworks and should pass an exam consists of a stand-alone building of a model of a hydraulic or transport problem. 
Please search for the menu SW & Literature to download software needed and some additional readings.  

Homeworks (deadline: last Monday of the semester, take care on submitting HWs both printed and digital forms as written in the tasks' description!)
