This course is the second part of Physical Hydrogeology, which focuses on the physical concepts underlying water flow and solute transport in variably saturated porous media. We will approach these concepts from a fundamental perspective of multiphase flow and transport in porous media to help students develop a strong physical intuition. Building up on the intuitive understanding, we will then formulate mathematical models and discuss physical behaviors of the various solutions of variably saturated flow and transport. New cutting-edge topics on the fate and transport of emerging contaminants (e.g., PFAS) in the subsurface will also be introduced.
