  • Modeling Flow and Transport at Pore Scale with Obstructions

    Creator:
    Umhoefer, Joseph G.
    Abstract:
    In this thesis we study mathematical and computational models for phenomena of flow and transport in porous media in the presence of changing pore scale geometries. The differential equations for the flow and transport models at Darcy scale involve the coefficients of permeability, porosity, and tortuosity which depend on the...

  • Interpolation Schemes for Two Dimensional Flow with Applications

    Creator:
    Umhoefer, Joseph G.
    Abstract:
    In this thesis we study a numerical analysis problem motivated by the need to simulate an event such as an oil spill in a deep water environment. Numerical simulation can help to mitigate the disastrous effects of such events by aiding the management of risk assessment and recovery efforts. However,...
