Talk Title: Mimetic Finite Element Methods for coupled flow problems

Invited by: Johnny Guzmán

Time: Nov. 20 2009 2 p.m.

Location: 182 George Street, Room 110

Abstract:

Coupled flow problems which depend on an accurate mass balance are presented, namely the coupling of free and porous media flow and the mixing layer problem in oceanography. An inf-sup stable, mimetic finite element method of arbitrary order for these problems is introduced and analyzed. Finally, application of these methods to parameter estimation in hurricane models is discussed.
