Book Review of Modeling and Simulation of Environmental Systems:A Computation Approach

Abstract

Water and air are important elements of the interactions that make up the environmental continuum, and these factors are critical to our lifestyles, economic well-being, and the health and integrity of ecosystems. With the development of advanced computational modelling, numerical techniques and fast computers, some complex environmental management problems can be solved by computational modelling. Modeling and Simulation of Environmental Systems: A Computation Approach is an English-language monograph in the field of modeling and simulation of environmental systems (published by CRC Press) , which is divided into four chapters, Water Resources, Air Pollution, Internet of Things and Environmental Systems, and Future Algorithms in Environmental Systems. Future Algorithms in Environmental Systems, presents four chapters on modeling and simulation of environmental systems and related case studies, covering computational methods used to solve air and water pollution problems, a general approach to spatio-temporal analytical modeling, the use of formulas, algorithms, and techniques to build mathematical modeling, and a pathway to the implementation of formulas for complex modeling problems. This paper briefly introduces the authors of the work, systematically sorts out the chapter structure of the book, and analyzes the application of some of the environmental models as well as the opportunities and challenges of using them. The work demonstrates how models, metrics, and ecological processes can be directly applied to environmental subdisciplines and can provide guidance and reference for environmental practitioners and research engineers.
