Abstract |
Porous media problems are typified by flow equations, which relate
velocities and pressure, and transport equations, which account for the
conservation of certain chemical species. These mathematical models
include coefficients which can vary by several orders of magnitude, point
sources and sinks, and chemical reactions with widely disparate time
scales. Steep gradients can occur in both fluid pressures and transported
quantities. Simulating these features accurately and efficiently, while
honoring the underlying conservation principles, are desirable goals when
applying numerical solution techniques to these equations. In this talk,
we will review some of the common numerical methods in use today for these
problems, and discuss current research and future directions.

About the Speaker |
Clint Dawson is a Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics
and is affiliated with the prestigious Texas Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics at The University of Texas at Austin.
Professor Dawson's research focuses on numerical simulation of flow in porous media and in the
development of algorithms for massively parallel computing.
Prior to joining the College of Engineering faculty at The University of Texas in 1995,
Professor Dawson was on the faculty at Rice University. Professor Dawson has published more than 50 papers.
His research interests include numerical solutions to partial differential equations,
algorithms for massively parallel scientific computation, and
application to surface and subsurface flow and transport in earth systems.

Special Note for CA visitors: U.S. Citizens with a valid DOE badge can report
to the Sandia badging office in building 911 to have their
badges activated for Sandia-California site access.
Be sure to tell the badge office to which building you will need
access.
E.g. for Building 921, you'll need access through the turnstile
facing the parking lot in front of Bldg 921.
