<p>This paper presents an alternative numerical method to model the two dimensional contaminant transport through saturated porous media using a finite difference method (FDM) and finite element method (FEM). A finite-difference model is constructed by dividing ...

<p>Amongst all hydrological and environmental problems the most typical one is ground water contamination. Waste material is to be placed in engineered landfill as ground water contamination can take place due to landfill leachate. In order to design engineered ...

<p>In this paper, ground movement in a highly populated region of Iran&rsquo;s capital city, Tehran, induced by excavation and construction of 7 the line of Tehran subway has been investigated. It was aimed to analyse the ground displacements and surface settlement ...

This paper is about the numerical simulation of historic earhquakes, in order to improve the knowledge of past phenomena and contribute to the assessment of the regional seismic hazard.

A two-layer (crust and upper mantle), finite difference steady-state thermomechanical model of a long-lived (several million years) lithospheric strike-slip fault is presented, and its predictions compared with field observations from various major fault zones ...
