    Gürkan, Ceren (Date of defense: 2018-11-22)

    This thesis proposes a new numerical technique: the eXtended Hybridizable Discontinuous Galerkin (X-HDG) Method, to efficiently solve problems including moving boundaries and interfaces. It aims to outperform available ...

    Mechanism and stochastic dynamics of transport in Darcy-scale heterogeneous porous media 

    Comolli, Alessandro (Date of defense: 2018-06-14)

    Solute transport in heterogeneous porous media in general exhibits anomalous behaviors, in the sense that it is characterized by features that cannot be explained in terms of traditional models based on the advection-dispersion ...
