    • Description of and User's Manual for a Finite Element Aquifer Flow Model AQUIFEM-1 

      Townley, Lloyd R.; Wilson, John L. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, 1980-02)
      A detailed user's and programmer's manual for "AQUIFEM-1," a versatile two-dimensional finite element model for groundwater flow, is presented. The model is based on the hydraulic equations of essentially horizontal flow, ...

    • Geochemistry of Municipal Waste in Coastal Waters 

      Morel, Francois M. M.; Schiff, Sherry L. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, 1980-07)
      Introduction: As we mine primary ores at an increasing rate, as we synthesize more exotic compounds in greater quantities, as we produce expanding heaps of waste, as we reroute rivers through our faucets, we are becoming ...

    • The Coupled Transport of Water and Heat in a Vertical Soil Column Under Atmospheric Excitation 

      Milly, P. Christopher D.; Eagleson, Peter S. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, 1980-07)
      The purpose of this work is to develop a detailed, physically-based model of the response of the land surface to atmospheric forcing. The coupled, nonlinear partial differential equations governing mass and heat transport ...
