The compartments may describe spatial subunits of single- or multi-environmental media, and the way one hooks them together implicitly provides the dimensionality of the problem. With this approach, assembling the equations to describe chemical fate and transport in a three-dimensional, multimedia system is fundamentally no more challenging than a one-dimensional, single-medium problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eGo Beyond \"Black Box\" Modeling with the Flexible GEM Software\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book includes access to the Generic Environmental Model (GEM), a new software package developed by the author. This software implements the compartment approach based on user-prepared input files and solves the resulting mathematical equations. It allows readers to solve linear, nonlinear, and steady-state problems and offers four methods for solving dynamic problems. Each solution technique is reviewed, along with the error properties and the criteria for avoiding or minimizing numerical errors. The book also describes solution techniques and the underlying mathematical theory for solving nonlinear systems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompartment Modeling from the Ground Up, Made Accessible to Non-Mathematicians\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA user-friendly introduction to environmental compartment modeling for the beginning modeler, this is also a useful resource for the experienced modeler.
