CEE 734 Vadose Zone Flow and Solute Transport

Credits: (3-0) 3

The course covers theory and principles of soil physics, moisture storage, unsaturated flow, matric flow, infiltration and evaporation. Investigation of physical, chemical, and biological processes governing the transport and fate of contaminants in vadose zone are included. Contaminant transport process through variably saturated subsurface porous media. State-of-the-art 2D/3D unsaturated zone models to describe these phenomena are developed and applied to real world problems. Applications include prediction of extents of contaminant migration and assessment and design of remediation schemes.
