Kühn M. Reactive Flow Modeling of Hydrothermal Systems

Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2004. — 272 p. — (Lecture Notes in Earth Sciences). — ISBN: 3540203389.The book introduces the topic of geochemical modeling of fluids in subsurface and hydrothermal systems. The intention is to serve as a textbook for graduate students in aqueous, environmental and groundwater geochemistry, despite the fact that its focus is on the special topic of geochemistry in hydrothermal systems, it also provides new insights for experienced researchers with respect to the topic of reactive transport.General Significance of Geochemical Models of Hydrothermal Systems
