Sommario/riassunto

This book examines mathematical modeling and computer simulations that estimate the distribution of chemical contaminants in environmental media in time and space. Discussing various modeling issues in a single volume, this text provides an introduction to a specific numerical modeling technique called the compartment approach and offers a practical user's guide to the GEM. It includes the Generic Environmental Model (GEM) software package, which



implements the techniques described. The author presents algorithms for solving linear and nonlinear systems of algebraic equations as well as systems of linear and nonlinear partial differential equations--
