Geological-physical states and processes are described physically by systems of mathematical equations. These are often systems of coupled partial differential equations together with the system-dependent boundary and initial conditions. The solutions of such systems of equations can seldom be given analytically, here then numerical methods are used.
In this research field, which is located in Section 4 - Geothermics and Information Systems - numerical algorithms are developed for the modeling of transport processes (substances, heat, mechanical energy) and their couplings from the pore to the reservoir scale.
