Mathematical Modeling and Numerical Simulation of Subsurface and Surface Flow Problems - Part I of II

10:30 AM-12:30 PM
Rio Mar 1

For Part II, see MS44.

Sponsored by SIAM Activity Group on Geosciences

The speakers in this minisymposium will discuss topics in the mathematical and numerical aspects of modeling subsurface and surface flow problems are presented. In particular, the subsurface flow topics include geomechanics and discretizations and corresponding linear and nonlinear solvers for multi-phase and multi-physics flow in a heterogeneous porous medium. The speakers will also discuss algorithms for discretizing the shallow water equations and the couplings of these equations to the hydrology models.
