Events & News

• Dr. Raul Manzanilla from Simon Bolivar University, Venezuela, is currently spending 8 weeks at CSM to develop joint work on discretization and metamodeling approaches for porous media flow applications.
• We are pleased to announce that Dr. Mary Wheeler has been awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Engineering by the Colorado School of Mines Board of Trustees for her contributions to the curriculum and research of their institution. Dr. Wheeler will receive this award during the commencement ceremony on May 9, 2008.
• Dr. Sílvia Barbeiro from University of Coimbra, Portugal, is visiting CSM since February 2008. Research interests within this collaboration include the numerical solution of partial differential systems applied to coupled geomechanics and reservoir flow models, giving special attention to stress-sensitive reservoir problems.

The Center for Subsurface Modeling (CSM) investigates high-performance parallel processing as a tool to model the behavior of fluids in permeable geologic formations such as petroleum and natural gas reservoirs, groundwater aquifers and aquitards, and in shallow bodies of water such as bays and estuaries. The Center is part of the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences (ICES). CSM comprises a close-knit team of faculty and research scientists with expertise in applied mathematics, engineering, and computer, physical, chemical and geological sciences. This interdisciplinary approach to simulation permits a more effective integration of advanced mathematical and numerical techniques with engineering applications.

Research Spotlight

CSM offers researchers the ability to collaborate on projects that address the growing use of computers to simulate physical events and the use of these simulations to study physical phenomena and to perform engineering analysis and design.
