The objective of this course is to provide graduate-level students an overview of
the analytical theory and methods used in surface water quality modeling at
meso- and micro-scale system levels.
A must-have course for those who are in the fields of medium- to large-scale
urban & natural water resources/water quality management,
planning, conservation and remediation (in both Civil and Environmental
Engineering).
Students will be introduced to and familiarized in theory and design applications
to identify, quantify and describe time/space-variant intensity and magnitude of
common substances/pollutants by using flux, transport and fate phenomena principles.
For example, depending on the scale of the system/problem, application of standard
dispersive/diffusive/decay transport model framework or derivation of a general solution
from analytical system equations can be used.
Analytical methods are applied further to investigate/simulate/predict/optimize the
system responses corresponding to natural/anthropogenic triggers onto various water
quality problem domains including stream and river, lake and reservoir, and estuaries
and ocean outfall systems. (Many of the same approaches can be applied to the
unit process-level scale in water & wastewater treatments)
Mathematical conceptualization and formulation of flux, transport and fate mechanisms
describing meso-spatiotemporal states of physical, chemical, biological, and
hydrological water quality will be discussed in depth.
Both analysis and design orientations will be emphasized.
Students are presumed to have a strong background in mathematics,
fluid dynamics, hydraulics and hydrology, chemistry, physics, statistics
and computational/numerical methods.

No gradable Homeworks assigned but Weekly Exercise questions will be posted to Canvas/Assignments,
followed by a solution one week later.
If you'd registered this course as CEE 856, in addition to "all above,"
you are required to submit a term research paper (due together with your
Final Project Report). Topic of the term research paper will be identified
after a short meeting with the instructor in the beginning of the semester.
|
Letter grades will be based on brackets (see right side) out
of the normalized 100% total.
A cumulative total equals
to a 65 percentile or higher will guarantee you a grade of C- or
better. A cumulative total smaller than a 65 percentile will
guarantee you a grade of F.

Office Hours:
If you have a question,
please e-mail in advance to me at
<jyoon@odu.edu>
to make an appointment (or flat out to ask a question via e-mail).
Putting your question/thought in letter would
often help you to clarify what you really don't understand.
-
Homeworks due on the beginning of following Wednesday class by uploading
your PDF solution to Canvas/Assignments. Once completed, you can upload anytime
priot to the due date.
- Exams will be given in a full class period,
opened book, opened notes exam. Each exam will
cover upto last class' topics, and will not be cumulative.
- If you think your homework/exam was incorrectly graded or
graded too harshly, please return it to me with an
explanation. I reserve the right to completely regrade
a homework/examination that has been returned (regraded
result can be either better or worse than the original grade).
- Please be serious about "Deadline." (for your project)
If it is not
meant to be serious in the first place, there wouldn't
be the word "Dead" in it. Languid procrastination is
the mother of all subjugations -- do not dig yourself into it.
Late project report submission will not be accepted, period.
- A requirement of
this course is to conduct a term group modeling project
on a water quality problem, give an in-class, about 30-minute
(which will be adjusted depending on the class size) presentation over Zoom,
and submit/upload a written final report in a PDF file format to Canvas.
The project will be a group effort, ideally two students
per group and no more than three per group at max., but
the members/group ratio would be depending on
the class size. For more information, please see
Term Group Project guideline.
By applying classroom theories to a real-world problem/design,
you can really understand the value of these theories.
Remember, the ability to accomplish a thorough,
technically-sound, and quality
project is what distinguishes you from the undergraduates
and distinguishes engineers from others.
- Reasonable accommodations are provided for students with
disabilities. Students should contact me as early in the semester as possible.
