Description

We analyze the progression of gravity currents in heterogeneous media under different kinds of heterogeneity and with different degrees of anisotropy, more precisely, multiGaussian realizations, non-Gaussian realizations and sedimentary-like realizations. The analysis focuses on the time evolution of the free surface as a dense liquid enters a reservoir filled with a much lighert liquid. Probability maps of this surface are built, which measure the uncertainty on the current evolution, and they are compared with the evolution of the same current with a homogeneous conductivity equal to the geometric mean of the heterogeneous realizations.
