Name of subject: Dispersion Modeling of Environmental Pollution |
Instructors:
Prof. Nikola Lilić, Uroš Pantelić |
|
Status: Optional |
|
ECTS: 6 |
|
Prerequisites: - |
Course Objectives:
Gaining knowledge about the nature and purpose of environmental pollution modeling, types of ecological models, the definition of basic concepts, introduction to the basic steps in the design and development of the model, calibration, verification and validation of the model, sensitivity analysis, features, architecture and functioning of selected ecological models. |
Learning Outcomes:
The course provides students with an understanding of the physical principles of air dispersion modeling. During the course, students are expected to acquire sufficient knowledge of selecting and applying the most appropriate model for prediction of air pollution (SCREEN 3, AERMOD). The course provides students with basic knowledge of acoustics. As a result of the course, students will develop appropriate competence in selecting and applying the most appropriate standards and models for noise mapping and prediction (SoundPLAN). The course provides an introduction to the modeling of groundwater pollution. |
Content:
