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 2004-12-15 with total page 416 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.
