A SET OF INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSPORT AND DIFFUSION-MODELS FOR CALCULATING HAZARDOUS RELEASES

A set of numerical transport and dispersion models is incorporated wit hin a graphical interface shell to predict hazardous material released into the environment. The visual shell (Enviro View) consists of an o bject-oriented knowledge base, which is used for inventory control, si te mapping and orientation, and monitoring of materials. Graphical dis plays of detailed sites, building locations, floorplans, and three-dim ensional views within a room are available to the user using a point a nd click interface. In the event of a release to the environment, the user can choose from a selection of analytical, finite element, finite volume, and boundary element methods, which calculate atmospheric tra nsport, groundwater transport, and dispersion within a building interi or. The program runs on 486 personal computers under WINDOWS.
