Wang, Jian ChyunAbstract
The contamination of the environment from waste disposal activities and industry is of great concern to engineers. Also of interest are ways of preventing the further spreading of contaminants by the use of well-designed disposal facilities and methods for rehabilitating existing contaminated areas. It is the objective of this thesis to develop a computationally efficient numerical technique and to carry out experimental work in order to investigate contaminant migration in porous or fractured media such as soil and rock.The contamination of the environment from waste disposal activities and industry is of great concern to engineers.
