Sedimentary basins are among the best places to find petroleum and natural gas and to store nuclear waste material. The history of the basin has a deep impact on the characteristic of the oil generated: the evolution and the temperature of the sediments determine localization, quantity and quality of the […]

In recent years, geostatistics has assumed a key role in modeling and predicting geophysical variables. The main goal of geostatistics is to provide methodologies able to describe and forecast quantitative variables distributed over space, or space-time.The focus of the project is posed on the geostatistical modeling and prediction of complex […]
Subsurface flows are strongly influenced by the presence of fractures. While small and micro-fractures can be easily accounted for by means of upscaling techniques, large fractures and faults play a more complex role, acting as paths or barriers for the flow. These effects are very relevant for many applications such […]
Plate tectonics is a theory that describes the evolution of Earth’s lithosphere. The lithosphere is broken up in a set of regions called plates moving on the fluid-like asthenosphere; due to this motions earthquakes, volcanic activity and orogeny occur along plates boundaries. The relative motions of plates determine the type […]
We are investigating geomechanical problems in the presence of fractures and faults. We suppose that the physical model consists of two parts: the solid component representing the crust porous material, and the fluid component that represents water and, eventually, oil and/or gas. The solid model is then augmented taking into […]
by A. Quarteroni and F. Saleri “The authors present details about the MATLAB and Octave environments, with information about how the two products can be acquired. The readers will find a useful set of about 60 references to books and articles about numerical methods and algorithms. If you work on […]

by A. Quarteroni, R. Sacco and F. Saleri Springer, 1st ed., 2000 “I found many of the examples to be quite interesting. I find no fault with any of the theoretical portions of the text. The authors are quite thorough in their discussion of the theory underlying each of the […]
by A. Quarteroni, R. Sacco and F. Saleri Springer, 2nd ed., 2007 This book provides the mathematical foundations of numerical methods and demonstrates their performance on examples, exercises and real-life applications. This is done using the MATLAB software environment, which allows an easy implementation and testing of the algorithms for […]
Our environmental module system gives access to several toolchains, all based on the GlibC Linux library and a specific GCC suite. Check with the command module avail to list the active toolchains.
