Open Access Code


Upscaling code
This matlab code calculates the position and shape of a gravity current in a layered porous medium [1].
[Upscale]
Free boundary problem
This matlab and julia code calculates the evolution of a gravity current in a porous medium subject to constant injection.
[Free boundary problem]
Finite release problem
This code evaluates the evolution of a released volume of fluid in an anisotropic porous medium [2]

Brachistochrone code
This code, written in the julia programming language, solves the "Brachistochrone on a velodrome problem" [3]. For each case there is the passive (zero pedalling force) and active (non-zero pedalling force) code.
