NEBOJSA KUKURIC (Yugoslavia)

FIELD OF INTEREST

Major field of work and professional interest is development of hydrogeologic software, including:

(1) Deterministic groundwater modelling (conceptual under-understanding of physical problems, mathematical modelling, numerical modelling and model identification);

(2) All kinds of computer data anlyses, mainly statistical, including stochastic modelling (i.g. ARMA models) and geostatistic analyses (i.e. KRIGING application).

(3) Computer graphic support.

CURRENT RESEARCHES:

Be Connected with role of statistical groundwater level data analyses as a contribution to defining direction and quantity of leakage from the artificial reservoirs in karst regions.

Last three years Mr.Kukuric dedicated to the deterministic modelling in karst regions, specially to the problems dealing with effect of the scope and defining boundaries as well as boundary conditions. Effort was made towards quantitative and qualitative determination of the basic elements of karst hydrogeological system. Determination of those elements is based on conceptual understanding of the physical process. Creation of a physical system represents the most important step in deterministic modelling of a karst kydrogeological system.

RECENT PUBLICATIONS

(1) Models for defining minimal discharge of karst springs.

(2) Deterministic modelling in karst environment.

(3) Modelling of groundwater level between two reservoirs in karst environment.

(4) Groundwater level analyses as a part of complex investigations of area of designed reservoir in karst conditions.
