Finite Element Modelling of Environmental Problems Surface and Subsurface Flow and Transport

About this book

Focuses on the main areas of environmental modelling with finite elements and the supporting finite element methodology. The finite element method is capable of treating regions with irregular boundaries and different material types, and is increasingly being applied to surface water and soil transport problems.
