Numerical Modeling of Energy & Geo-Environmental Systems
Students in this class work develop an understanding of
methods of modeling important physical and chemical phenomena involved in
energy and geo-environmental systems. These include both separate and mixed
solid (solid mechanics) and fluid (computational fluid mechanics) systems,
including reactive components. The emphasis is on finite element methods. Some examples of recent projects are given below, in order of presentation:
