Summary
"This book is a practical guide to the subject of numerical modelling of radioactivity dispersion in the marine environment. The techniques and numerical procedures required are explained in detail, with the aim of enabling the reader to build a real mathematical model. The book covers basic concepts and techniques, such as solving the advection-diffusion equation in a simple 1D form, as well as the most recent developments (full 3D models for non-conservative radionuclides including chemical reactions and speciation)."--Jacket
