*Navedena porazdelitev ur velja, če je vpisanih vsaj 15 študentov. Drugače se obseg izvedbe kontaktnih ur sorazmerno zmanjša in prenese v samostojno delo. / This distribution of hours is valid if at least 15 students are enrolled. Otherwise the contact hours are linearly reduced and transfered to individual work.

Vsebina:
Content (Syllabus outline):

Splošno o modelih. Modeliranje procesov v okolju. Uporabnost, koristnost modeliranja procesov. Vrste modelov. Stohastični, deterministični modeli. Dimenzije modelov: 0 dim., 1,2,3 dimenzijski modeli. Moduli: hidrodinamični, transportni, biokemični modul.

Osnovne enačbe (kratek pregled). Kontinuitetna, dinamična, advekcijsko-difuzijska enačba. Monod-ova enačba razpada snovi. Izračuni masne bilance kontaminanta.

Primeri uporabe: (1) Transportni procesi in pretvorbe živega srebra (Hg) v Idrijci in Soči ter v Tržaškem zalivu. (2) Simulacije Hg v morju Yatsushiro in zalivu Minamata. (3) Simuliranje transporta sedimentov in plutonija v laguni Mururoa. (4) Modeliranje onesnaževanja s pesticidi v lagunah SZ Mehike. (5) Modeliranje gibanja zemeljskega plazu v Logu pod Mangartom.

Introduction: General description of models. Modeling of environmental processes. Applicability and usefulness of environmental models. Types of models. Stochastic, deterministic models. Dimensions of models: 0 dim, 1,2,3 dim. models. Modules: hydrodynamic, transport/dispersion and biochemical modules.

Basic equations (short overview). Equation of continuity, dynamic equation, advection-diffusion equation. Monod equation for degradation of matter. Calculation of mass balance of a pollutant.

Case studies: (1) Transport processes and transformation of mercury (Hg) in Idrijca and Soča rivers and in the Gulf of Trieste. (2) Modeling of Hg in the Yatsushiro Sea and Minamata bay. (3) Simulations of transport of sediment and plutonium in the Mururoa lagoon. (4) Modeling of agricultural pollution in the lagoons of the NW Mexico (5) Modeling of dynamic of a landslide in Log pod Mangartom.

Cilji in kompetence:
Objectives and competences:

Študent mora razumeti principe modeliranja procesov v okolju. Na osnovi pridobljenega znanja mora biti sposoben simulirati določen fizikalni proces, bodisi z lastno izdelanim modelom ali osvojiti in uporabiti že izdelani model.

The student must understand the principles of the modeling in the environment. He must be able to simulate a physical process either by a commercial model or by a model, created by himself.

Predvideni študijski rezultati:
Intendeded learning outcomes:

- Študent mora znati sestaviti enostavni 0- dimenzijski model na osnovi Monodove enačbe razpada.
- Študent mora biti sposoben razumeti in opisati vsak že izdelani ekološki model.
- Mora biti sposoben jasno presoditi, katere vrste modelov so najprimernejše za rešitev konkretnih problemov s področja ekologije.
- Mora biti sposoben uporabljati že izdelane komercialne modele za reševanje problemov s tega področja.

- The student must be able to carry out a 0- dimensional model on the basis of Monod decay equation.
- The student must understand and be able to describe any environmental model.
- He must be able to decide for each case, which model is the most suitable for the application.
- He must be able to understand and use commercial models from this field.

Metode poučevanja in učenja:
Learning and teaching methods:

V primeru, da je vpisanih več kot 10 študentov: predavanja, študenti dobijo krajše naloge, rešitev katerih predelajo skupaj s predavateljem na ustnem izpitu, kjer dobijo še dodatna vprašanja.

V primeru, da je vpisanih manj kot 10 študentov: nekaj urni sestanek predavatelja s študenti, kjer študenti opišejo svoje dotedanje študijske in (eventualno) praktične izkušnje. Vsak študent dobi individualno seminarsko nalogo. Rešitev in zagovor naloge je pogoj za priznanje izpita.

If more than 10 students: lectures, the students obtain individual tasks. At the exam students present the solution of the tasks, and together with answers to additional questions the lecturer decides for the exam.

If less than 10 students: Meeting with students, where they describe their previous education and practical work. Each student obtains an individual seminar. Solution and presentation of the seminar is the condition for the acknowledgement of the exam.
