Estimating Uncertainties for Geophysical Tomography

We present statistical and interval techniques for evaluating the uncertainties associated with geophysical tomographic inversion problems, including estimation of data errors, model errors, and total solution uncertainties. These techniques are applied to the inversion of traveltime data collected in a cross well seismic experiment. The inversion method uses the conjugate gradient technique, i...

Modelling the Dynamics of Turbulent Floods

Consider the dynamics of turbulent flow in rivers, estuaries and floods. Based on the widely used k-ǫ model for turbulence, we use the techniques of centre manifold theory to derive dynamical models for the evolution of the water depth and of vertically averaged flow velocity and turbulent parameters. This new model for the shallow water dynamics of turbulent flow: resolves the vertical structu...
