Abdul Khaliq Dept. of Mathematical & Computational Sciences MTSU-USA In this talk we consider distributed order time space anomalous diffusion with non-homogenous boundary conditions. Time fractional derivative is defined in Caputo sense and Matrix Transfer Technique (MTT) is utilized for fractional spatial discretization. Midpoint quadrature rule is applied to approximate the spatial integral term. Numerical experiments are presented by employing a recently developed split-step method for space fractional reaction diffusion equations. Computational complexity and efficiency of the method is discussed as well as reliability and stability. |
Ali Dogru Saudi Aramco Fellow Saudi Arabia Gigantic reservoirs contribute significantly to meet the world energy demand. The PDEs are discretized both space and time resulting in discrete nonlinear equations which are solved by iterative methods. Because of the large size of the reservoirs, the number of computational elements are generally in the order of millions to billions or more. Solving such systems requires specific numerical methods and evolving computer hardware technology utilizing hundreds of thousands of CPUs and GPUS. |
Hongwei Liu EXPEC ARC, GPT Saudi ARAMCO-KSA Physical experiments show wave amplitudes attenuation linearly increase with respect to frequencies for certain materials, including many types of rocks studied in geophysics. However, a long standing problem is there is no time domain wave equation to precisely describe this type of attenuation, despite many approximations having been proposed. We present a simple time domain wave equation to precisely simulate such linear attenuation (i.e., both dissipations and dispersions). The key idea is to represent the wavefield (the function to be solved) by complex value functions, rather than by real value functions which all previous time domain wave equations have employed For verification, we have compared CWE numerical solutions with analytical solutions for acoustic waves in constant velocity media, and obtained nearly perfect matching between these two solutions. |
Huangxin Chen The School of Mathematical Sciences Xiamen University-China In this talk, we will present mixed finite element methods for space-fractional partial differential equations for flow and transport in fractured porous media. For the flow in fractured porous media, a space-fractional Darcy’s law will be introduced and it motivate us to use mixed finite element method for the flow by coupling the fractional Darcy’s law and mass conservation law. The mass-conservative property of the numerical scheme is naturally obtained which is important for the simulation of transport in fractured porous media. Then an upwind mixed finite element method will be introduced to simulate the transport with a fractional diffusion in fractured porous media. Performance of our schemes including numerical stability and solution accuracy will also be discussed. |

In this talk we will introduce a kind
of space-fractional partial differential equations to model and
simulate the flow and transport in fractured porous media.
Firstly, we will introduce a space-fractional Darcy’s law for
the flow in fractured porous media, which is coupled with the
mass conservation law to model the porous media flow. The
new fractional partial differential equations for flow (and
transport) in fractured porous media is more physical than
that in literature; in particular, our formulation satisfies the
principle of Galilean invariance. We will also compare our new
model with the discrete fracture model and with the dual
porosity dual permeability model for flow (and transport) in
fractured porous media. |
