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.
