ENSCI 5140: Applied Groundwater Flow Modeling
(Dual-listed with GEOL 4140/ ENSCI 4140).
(Cross-listed with GEOL 5140).
Credits: 3. Contact Hours: Lecture 2, Laboratory 2.
Introduction to the principles of modeling groundwater flow systems. Finite-difference and analytic-element methods, spreadsheet models, boundary conditions, calibration, sensitivity analysis, parameter estimation, particle tracking, and post-audit analysis. Application of MODFLOW to regional flow-system analysis. Computer laboratory emphasizes assigned problems that illustrate topics discussed in the course. Offered even-numbered years.
