Transport Modeling in Hydrogeochemical Systems
Original price was: $104.00.$83.20Current price is: $83.20.Add to cartIn the world of reality, we are often faced with describing and predicting the results of experiments. A mathematical model is a set of equations that encapsulates reality; it is a caricature of the real physical system that aids in our understanding of real phenomena. A good model extracts the essential features of the problem and lays out, in a simple manner, those processes and interactions that are important. By design, mathematical models should have predictive capability.
