Waterbody Hydrodynamic And Water Quality Modeling An Introductory Workbook And Cdrom On Threedimensional Waterbody Modeling Edinger by Edinger, John Eric 9780784405505, 0784405506 instant download after payment.

This one-of-a-kind workbook is an introduction to water body hydrodynamic and water quality modeling techniques and the properties of different models through hands-on software. The workbook explains how to set up models for different types of water bodies and water body problems, and different ways of examining and interpreting the model results. The model software includes the circulation in water bodies as influenced by inflows, outflows, tides, winds, salinity, and temperature. Coupled with this model are a dissolved oxygen depression model, a particulate-based nutrient and eutrophication model, and a sediment scour and deposition model. The workbook walks students through the steps of setting up an example application for its bathymetry, its input data file and specification of the desired output, followed by execution of example. Additional example applications are presented showing the setup of the model for different types of water bodies and for the different water quality models provided in the software. The results of the 30 example applications are provided in example output folders. An excellent learning tool for students in environmental engineering and environmental sciences programs, the models in ''Waterbody Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Modeling'' may be used for class assignments, term projects, and to supplement course lectures and textbooks. Practicing engineers will also find this workbook useful in making a rapid assessment of a water body problem.
