Course Purpose and Objectives
The aim of the course is to promote understanding the natural laws and mechanisms that govern the transport phenomena in gases, liquids and porous media, with emphasis on the transport of pollutants.
Learning Outcomes
1. Familiarization of students with examples and applications of flow transport phenomena.
2. Understanding of fundamentals and applications of the governing differential equations (mass, momentum, and transport of pollutants) in Environmental Fluid Mechanics.
3. Investigation of Flow Transport Phenomena in Laboratory Experiments (air, water, soil).
Course Content
1. Introduction to Flow Transport Phenomena in the Environment and Climate.
2. Sources of Pollution and Basic mass transport mechanisms (including turbulent dispersion).
3. Differential Analysis and use of Navier-Stokes equations in Environmental Fluid Mechanics.
4. Experiments in Flow Transport Phenomena (air, water, soil).
