Building Toy Dams: Modeling Stream Flow Around Obstacles in a Porous Media
Drafted:
A final project for Applied Math 205: Numerical Methods, this project was advised by Nick Derr and Chris Rycroft. Here, Chelsea Chen and I explore simulations of streamflow in a porous media with the twist of adding obstacles to see how the flow responds - we built a “castle” and watched streamflow erode around it! Feel free to check out our implementation in Python here or Download our AM205 final paper here.
