HIGHLIGHT

Jankovic Model

CSEE faculty member Igor Jankovic models contaminant transport in heterogeneous aquifer formations in order to relate statistical parameters that describe actual formations with overall plume behavior. This model consists of circular zones with hydraulic conductivity that differs from the background conductivity.
