Dr Steven Roper (Glasgow) Mathematical Geoscience Seminar Add to calendar DH 3rd floor SR
The presence and flow of fluid inside a crack within a solid causes deformation of the solid which in turn influences the flow of the fluid. This coupled fluid-solid problem will be discussed in the context of dyke propagation and hydrofracture. The background material will be discussed in detail and some applications to specific geometries presented.
