Peak rings are a feature of large impact craters on the terrestrial planets and are generally believed to be formed from deeply buried rocks that are uplifted during crater formation. The precise lithology and kinematics of peak ring formation, however, remains unclear. Previous work has revealed a suite of bright inward-dipping reflectors beneath the peak ring at the Chicxulub impact crater and that the peak ring was formed from rocks with a relatively low seismic velocity. New 2D full-waveform tomographic velocity images show that the uppermost lithology of the peak ring is formed from a thin (~100-200 m thick) layer of low-velocity (~3000-3200 m/s) rocks. This low-velocity layer is most likely to be composed of highly porous, allogenic impact breccias. Our models also show that the change in velocity between lithologies within and outside the peak ring is more abrupt than previously realized and occurs close to the location of the dipping reflectors. Across the peak ring, velocity appears to correlate well with predicted shock pressures from a dynamic model of crater formation, where the rocks that form the peak ring originate from uplifted basement that has been subjected to high shock pressures (10-50 GPa), and lie above downthrown sedimentary rocks that have been subjected to shock pressures of < 5 GPa. These observations suggest that low-velocities within the peak ring may be related to shock effects and that the dipping reflectors underneath the peak ring might represent the boundary between highly-shocked basement and weakly-shocked sediments.

Coupled Deformation and Fluid Flow in Fractured Porous Media using Dual Permeability and Explicitly Defined Fracture Geometry
, 72nd EAGE Conference & ExhibitionWe present a numerical scheme which combines the dual permeability method (DPM) and the extended finite element method (XFEM) to simulate coupled deformation and fluid flow in fractured porous media. The scheme incorporates spatial variability in fracture properties without requiring the fracture to be discretized or aligned with the computational mesh. DPM is used to describe the fluid flow interaction between the porous matrix and fractures, whilst XFEM is used to address the discontinuous displacement field within elements which intersect fractures. The method is strongly coupled and solves the stress and flow equations simultaneously for each time increment.

The simulation of cardiac electrophysiology requires small time steps and a fine mesh in order to resolve very sharp, but highly localized, wavefronts. The use of very high resolution meshes containing large numbers of nodes results in a high computational cost, both in terms of CPU hours and memory footprint. In this paper an anisotropic mesh adaptivity technique is implemented in the Chaste physiological simulation library in order to reduce the mesh resolution away from the depolarization front. Adapting the mesh results in a reduction in the number of degrees of freedom of the system to be solved by an order of magnitude during propagation and 2–3 orders of magnitude in the subsequent plateau phase. As a result, a computational speedup by a factor of between 5 and 12 has been obtained with no loss of accuracy, both in a slab-like geometry and for a realistic heart mesh with a spatial resolution of 0.125 mm.

The Inner-Element Subgrid Scale Finite Element Method for the Boltzmann Transport Equation
, NUCLEAR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, Vol: 164, Pages: 105-121, ISSN: 0029-5639This paper is of particular importance to the nuclear community as it offers a new, efficient and accurate method for resolving the spatial dimensions of the radiation transport (RT) equation. Solving the RT equation can be extremely demanding as its discretisation leads to unusually large and computationally expensive systems. This sub-grid model therefore blends an accurate and stable discontinuous Galerkin method within a computationally efficient continuous framework. It is shown to produce accurate and stable approximations that also capture large solution gradients. This can all be achieved whilst reducing the problem size by up to a factor of 20.

A strategy for waveform inversion without an accurate starting model
, 72nd European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers Conference and Exhibition 2010 A New Spring for Geoscience Incorporating SPE Europec 2010, Vol: 7, Pages: 4846-4850A key limitation of waveform inversion as currently implemented is the need for a starting model of high accuracy or field data with low frequencies. Here we present a new approach - staged waveform inversion - designed to mitigate this need and thereby permit the application of waveform inversion to a much wider range of datasets. © 2010, European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers.

Journal articleGarcia X, Pavlidis D, Gorman GJ, et al., 2010, , International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids
In this paper we present a method to solve the Navier–Stokes equations in complex geometries, suchas porous sands, using a finite-element solver but without the complexity of meshing the porous space.The method is based on treating the solid boundaries as a second fluid and solving a set of equationssimilar to those used for multi-fluid flow. When combined with anisotropic mesh adaptivity, it is possibleto resolve complex geometries starting with an arbitrary coarse mesh. The approach is validated bycomparing simulation results with available data in three test cases. In the first we simulate the flow pasta cylinder. The second test case compares the pressure drop in flow through random packs of sphereswith the Ergun equation. In the last case simulation results are compared with experimental data on theflow past a simplified vehicle model (Ahmed body) at high Reynolds number using large-eddy simulation(LES). Results are in good agreement with all three reference models.

Finite element coupled deformation and fluid flow in fractured porous media
, 72nd European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers Conference and Exhibition 2010: A New Spring for Geoscience. Incorporating SPE EUROPEC 2010, Vol: 2, Pages: 1146-1161We present a finite element scheme which combines the dual permeability method (DPM) and the extended finite element method (XFEM) to simulate coupled deformation and fluid flow in fractured porous media. The scheme incorporates spatial variability in fracture properties without requiring the fracture to be discretized or aligned with the computational mesh. DPM is used to describe the fluid flow interaction between the porous matrix and fractures, whilst XFEM is used to address the discontinuous displacement field within elements which intersect fractures. The method is strongly coupled and solves the stress and flow equations simultaneously for each time increment. DPM-XFEM uses the level set method (LSM) to define existing fractures and eliminates the need for their explicit discretization during simulation. The method performs well on coarse structured grids and does not require complex, difficult to generate meshes to conduct simulations. Comparison between the proposed method and the discrete fracture method (DFM) shows its ability to adequately determine the displacement and fluid pore pressure distribution within a fractured domain. © 2010, European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers.

High Performance Computing Driven Software Development for Next-Generation Modelling of the Worlds Oceans
, Cray Users Group ConferenceThe 51³Ô¹ÏÍø College Ocean Model (ICOM) is an open-source next generation ocean model build upon finite element methods and anisotropic unstructured adaptive meshing. Since 2009, a project has been funded by EPSRC to optimise the ICOM for the UK national high-end computing resource, HECToR (Cray XT4). Extensive use of profiling tools such as CrayPAT and Vampir, has been made in order to understand performance issues of the code on the Cray XT4. Of particular interest is the scalability of the sparse linear solvers and the algebraic multigrid preconditioners required to solve the system of equations.
