STOCHASTIC METHODS FOR FLOW IN POROUS MEDIA: COPING WITH UNCERTAINTIES
explores fluid flow in complex geologic environments. The
parameterization of uncertainty into flow models is important for
managing water resources, preserving subsurface water quality, storing
energy and wastes, and improving the safety and economics of
extracting subsurface mineral and energy resources.
This volume systematically introduces a number of stochastic methods
used by researchers in the community in a tutorial way and presents
methodologies for spatially and temporally stationary as well as
nonstationary flows. The author compiles a number of well-known
results and useful formulae and includes exercises at the end of each
chapter.
* As never seen before:
* Balanced viewpoint of several stochastic methods, including Greens'
function, perturbative expansion, spectral, Feynman diagram, adjoint
state, Monte Carlo simulation, and renormalization group methods
* Tutorial style of presentation will facilitate use by readers
without a prior in-depth knowledge of Stochastic processes
* Practical examples throughout the text
* Exercises at the end of each chapter reinforce specific concepts and
techniques
* For the reader who is interested in hands-on experience, a number of
computer codes are included and discussed
