Finite Element Methods in Geophysics

Catalog description

Credits 3. 3 Lecture Hours. Fundamental concepts of finite element methods, formulation of two and three-dimensional boundary-value problems in geophysics, including heat conduction, elasticity, seismic wave propagation and gravity and magnetic modeling; emphasis on the Galerkin method and isoparametric concept; data processing and programming techniques such as MPI-based parallel computing.
