Dr. Yakirevich’s areas of research include: experimental and theoretical investigation of water flow, solute and heat transfer in porous and fractured media; formulation of mathematical models for multiphase and multicomponent flow and transport in the vadose zone and groundwater system; simulation of saltwater-intrusion problems; simulation of overland flow, solutes transport in runoff and streams; estimating mass-transfer parameters from laboratory- or field-measured water and solute distribution data. A combination of analytical and numerical methods is used in these studies.
