Course Description:
This is
a seminar course in which we discuss in greater detail chosen topics
in petroleum engineering, applied mathematics, computer science, and
fluid mechanics. This course grew from my Group Seminars given
over the last 5 years (click here on
Seminars to learn more). Every
semester, we cover a different set of issues. In Spring 2006 we
will focus on rock mechanics and multiphase flow in deformable
fractured rock. We will also discuss the Kolmogorov theory of
turbulence and evaluation of CO2 fluxes using analysis of
time series of turbulent wind velocity, CO2
concentration, air temperature, and humidity.
