The course will cover numerical methods for the solution of steady and unsteady groundwater flow and solute transport problems. Finite difference, finite volume and finite element techniques will be considered in detail, and other methods such as particle tracing and flux-corrected transport will be introduced. Matrix solution techniques will also be briefly reviewed. Some reference to commercial software will be made, however the emphasis of the course is on the methods, their associated errors, limitations, etc. and not any particular software package(s).
