stochastic_diffusion


stochastic_diffusion, a Fortran77 code which implement several versions of a stochastic diffusivity coefficient, creating graphic images of sample realizations of the diffusivity field.

The 1D diffusion equation has the form

        - d/dx ( DC(X) d/dx U(X) ) = F(X).
      
where DC(X) is a function called the diffusivity and F(X) is called the source term or forcing term.

In the 1D stochastic version of the problem, the diffusivity function includes the influence of stochastic parameters:

        - d/dx ( DC(X;OMEGA) d/dx U(X;OMEGA) ) = F(X).
      

The 2D diffusion equation has the form

        - Del ( DC(X,Y) Del U(X,Y) ) = F(X,Y).
      

In the 2D stochastic version of the problem, the diffusivity function includes the influence of stochastic parameters:

        - Del ( DC(X,Y;OMEGA) Del U(X,Y;OMEGA) ) = F(X,Y).
