Schwarz splitting for the steady state problem of saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers

Abstract

In this study we investigate the effectiveness of a meta-computing method on the modeling and the implementation of a truly multi-domain, multi-physics numerical scheme for an important practical problem in the area of environmental engineering. A case study of the steady state of saltwater intrusion in costal aquifers is considered and a meta-computing scheme is developed and implemented on the basis of modern highly efficient software tools and practices. Numerical experiments exhibit the several desired characteristics of the proposed methodology and the associated implementation. They also justify the necessity for further research and development for an emerging new numerical computing paradigm that although known has not yet prove its practical value in particular for realistic engineering problems. © 2015, North Atlantic University Union NAUN.
