Stochastic PDE's for water flow, solute transport and wave propagation phenomena in heterogeneous geologic media.

International audienceThis lecture will present stochastic PDE's (Partial Differential Equations) to model various "transport" phenomena like water flow, solute transport and wave propagation, in heterogeneous geologic porous media. The material properties are represented by random functions of space F(x) (random fields). The resulting transport PDE’s contain random field coefficients, and their solutions are stochastic (randomly heterogeneous)
