Abstract

Accurate modeling of contamination in subsurface flow and water aquifers is crucial for agriculture and environmental protection. Here, we demonstrate a parallel method to quantify the propagation of the uncertainty in the dispersal of pollution in density-driven flow. We solve an Elder-like problem, where we use random fields to model the limited knowledge on the porosity and permeability. The uncertain solution, mass fraction, is approximated via low-cost generalized polynomial chaos expansion (gPCE). Parallelization is done in both the physical and parametric spaces.
