Numerical Partial Differential Equations for Environmental Scientists and Engineers

Download or read book Numerical Partial Differential Equations for Environmental Scientists and Engineers written by Daniel R. Lynch and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-06-02 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For readers with some competence in PDE solution properties, this book offers an interdisciplinary approach to problems occurring in natural environmental media: the hydrosphere, atmosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere, biosphere and ionosphere. It presents two major discretization methods: Finite Difference and Finite Element, plus a section on practical approaches to ill-posed problems. The blend of theory, analysis, and implementation practicality supports solving and understanding complicated problems.
