The book has two aims: to introduce basic concepts of environmental modellingand to facilitate the application of the concepts using modern numerical tools such as MATLAB. It is targeted at all natural scientists dealing with the environment: process and chemical engineers, physicists, chemists, biologists, biochemists, hydrogeologists, geochemists and ecologists. MATLAB was chosen as the major computer tool for modeling, firstly because it is unique in it's capabilities, and secondly because it is available in most academic institutions,in all universities and in the research departments of many companies. In the2nd edition many chapters will include updated and extended material. In addition the MATLAB command index will be updated and a new chapter on numerical methods will be added. For the second edition of 'Environmental Modeling' the first edition was completely revised. Text and figures were adapted to the recent MATLAB version. Several chapters were extended. Correspondingly the index of MATLAB commands was extended considerably, which makes the book even more suitable to be used as a reference work by novices. Finally an introduction intonumerical methods was added as a new chapter. Many chapters updated and extended. Updated MATLAB command and index. New chapter on numerical methods INDICE: Part I: Primer to Modeling with MATLAB. Introduction. Fundamentalsof Modeling, Principles and MATLAB,. Transport. Transport Solutions.
