This award will support collaborative research between Professor                George Pinder of Princeton University and Professor Ismael Herrera              of the Universidad Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM) in Mexico City,                    Mexico.  The investigators intend to develop mathematical tools                 that allow the efficient and accurate simulation of groundwater                 flow and transport.  More specifically, they will design an                     alternating direction collocation computer code, capable of                     simulating the movement of multiphase groundwater flow and                      transport in the subsurface, and programmable for a parallel                    processor supercomputer.  Further, a least squares collocation                  algorithm will be developed, based upon a total derivative                      formulation, that will accurately simulate the movement of                      contaminants exhibiting steep fronts.  In addition, the researchers             plan to look at boundary element techniques to simulate the                     movement of non-acqueous phase fluids in the subsurface and carry               out a theoretical analysis of the alternation direction collocation             algorithm from a functional analysis point of view.                                                                                                             Many efforts have been made over the last ten years in devising                 appropriate numerical methods that can accurately simulate the                  propagation of sharp fronts in groundwater flow and transport                   modeling.  The proposed work will serve to advance our                          understanding of such flow problems by combining the theoretical                expertise of the Mexican side with the practical experience of the              U.S. side in subsurface flow and transport modeling.
