Objective
To present a theoretical and practical introduction to computational models applied to soil water and solute dynamics under saturated ((groundwater) and unsaturated conditions.
Content
Course material will be presented through classes, along with discussions and critical analysis of relevant scientific papers, published here and abroad. Topics covered will include:
(1) Physical concepts - fundamental physical greatness applied to the hydrological cycle;
(2) Solving equations (use of MathCad, VBA Excel) (bisection method, secant and Newton-Raphson);
(3) Soil physical properties;
(4) Transport in balance (equation of convection-dispersion / diffusion);
(5) Soil water retention curve (application of RETC model and exercises in EXCEL) (method of least squares adjustment of soil water retention curve);
(6) Applications STANMOD model (CFITIM) (adjustment of breakthrough curves (numerical methods);
(7) Introduction to MIDI model (Miranda, 2001);
(8) Introduction to the HYDRUS 1D model (Infiltration Problems);
(9) Application of MIDI and HYDRUS 1D and 2D to problems in water and solute dynamic; and
(10) Model Application-Hydrus 1D for solving inverse problems.
