Book Description
Groundwater mechanics is the study of fluid flow in porous media. Focusing on applications and case studies, this book explains the basic principles of groundwater flow using mathematical expressions to describe a wide range of different aquifer configurations. Emphasis is placed throughout on the importance of developing simplified models that can be solved analytically to provide insight into complex groundwater flow scenarios and to allow better interpretation of the full numerical solution. Focusing first on identifying the important features of a problem, the book explains how to translate practical questions into mathematical form and discusses the interpretation of the results. Illustrated with numerous real-world examples and graphical results, this is an ideal textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate Earth science, geological engineering, and environmental engineering courses, as well as a useful reference for researchers and professionals.

Mechanics of Groundwater in Porous Media
Author: Muhammad I. Haque
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1466585048
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Provides a Balance between the Mathematical and Physical Aspects and the Engineering Applications Written for engineering and science students, Mechanics of Groundwater in Porous Media explains groundwater from both a mathematical and qualitative standpoint. The book builds up the theory of groundwater flow starting from basic physics and geometric intuition, and on to applied practice through real-world engineering problems. It includes graphical illustrations as well as solved illustrative problems throughout the text. Considers the Steady-State Motion of Groundwater The book starts off by introducing the overall picture of groundwater, its relationship with the hydrological cycle, and other terminology used in the mechanics of groundwater flow though porous means. It presents a synopsis of basic definitions, concepts, and the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics and soil mechanics, which are necessary prerequisites for an adequate understanding of the book’s core material. The engineering applications are deducted from geometric and physical reasoning, with a minimum use of mathematical abstraction. Mechanics of Groundwater in Porous Media is written primarily to serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate and upper-level graduate students in civil and environmental engineering, environmental science, hydrogeology, and geology, as well as a resource for practicing engineers.

Finite Element Techniques in Groundwater Flow Studies
Author: I. Kazda
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0444598324
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
The finite element method (FEM) is one of those modern numerical methods whose rise and development was incited by the rapid development of computers. This method has found applications in all the technical disciplines as well as in the natural sciences.One of the most effective applications of the finite element method is its use for the solution of groundwater flow problems encountered in the design and maintenance of hydraulic structures and tailing dams, in soil mechanics, hydrology, hydrogeology and engineering geology.The stimuli to write this book came from the results obtained in the solution of practical problems connected both with the construction and maintenance of fill-type dams and tailing dams and the utilization of groundwater in Czechoslovakia, and on the other hand from the experience gained in teaching hydraulic structures theory at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Technical University of Prague. All the experience so far obtained shows markedly the advantages of the finite element method and the great possibilities of its further development as well as its considerable demands on the algorithmization, programming and use of computer possibilities. The reader will find an explanation of the fundamentals of the finite element method directed mainly toward isoparametric elements having an exceptional adaptability and numerical reliability. The finite element method application to groundwater flow concerns mainly two-dimensional problems, which occur most frequently in practice. Considerable attention is given to non-linear and non-stationary problems, which are most important in application.A computer program (based on the eight-noded isoparametric elements) is included and fully documented.The book will be useful to civil engineers, hydrogeologists and engineering geologists who need the finite element method as a solution tool for the complex problems encountered in engineering practice.

Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
This book presents a comprehensive discussion of basics of groundwater hydrology, its hydrologic and engineering aspects, and the mechanics involved in the study of flow of groundwater. The matter is presented in a logical sequence, placing emphasis on the application of theory and on the practical aspects of groundwater hydrology. The book introduces the geological formations of aquifers, discusses soil physics, describes the solutions of differential equations for confined and unconfined aquifers, elucidates groundwater flow equations and explains the phenomenon of interference of wells. The book also deals with tube wells and open wells, their design criteria, construction and work, revitalization and spacing, as well as their potential for irrigation. The issues of groundwater prospecting, analog models to study the response of aquifers to simulated field conditions, the current issues of concern pertaining to quality parameters of groundwater, and applications of remote sensing for survey and geological explorations for groundwater, are all addressed in the latter part of the book. The book is intended for the senior undergraduate students of civil engineering and postgraduate students (who specialize in Water Resources Engineering) of civil engineering. Besides it will be useful to the students pursuing courses in agricultural engineering. KEY FEATURES : Includes numerous objective-type questions (with answers) at the end of each chapter Contains worked-out numerical problems Provides chapter-end questions and unsolved numerical problems with answers for practice by students
