Chemical Hydrogeology GLY-5828
What this course is: • Diffusion equation • Dispersion • Convection-Dispersion equation • Boundary conditions • Sorption • Production and decay
Learning Outcomes • Derive diffusion and convection dispersion equations • Solve equations numerically • Understand and apply boundary conditions • Thorough understanding of dispersion • Be able to do inverse modeling
Expectations • Perfect attendance • Homework independent and on time • Thorough preparation for quizzes • Quality projects
Homework • Weekly • Short reports on specific exercises usually including modeling and comparison with analytical solutions • English, spelling, units, significant figures, quality of graphics, accuracy of analysis, and quality of evaluation will all be considered in grading • You may work together to develop your understanding, but you must complete all assignments yourself; copying the work of others (including from the Internet) is unacceptable and will result in a grade of F • Late homework reduced 25% for each late day • 1/2 of grade
Quizzes • 1/8 of grade • Weekly 10-minute quizzes following completion of the homework assignment • Quiz grades will be weighted to account for 1/8 of overall course grade
Examinations • One mid-term and one final examination will focus on concepts, theory, derivations, and practical computations associated with solute transport • Examinations will be based on lecture, homework, and quiz material • 1/8 of grade each
Projects • An in-class presentation of a solute transport modeling effort • 1/8 of your grade. • Graded on content and professional quality • Submit a one page description of your project concept early in the semester • Individual and group projects are possible, but equal effort (and a regular full presentation) is expected from all group project participants. • Presentations will be at the end of the semester.
