Abstract:

In this talk, we propose an RBF-based Finite Difference (RBF-FD) method to solve groundwater flow and contaminant transport equations. We propose a new procedure for stably computing the solution even in the vicinity of a well, mathematically represented as a singularity. We validate our method and verify its high order of accuracy by solving a well-known benchmark problem. We also consider the case of groundwater flow in an heterogeneous acquifer.
