CLOSING NOTES
Preview: Subsurface Science
To be featured in an upcoming issue of SciDAC Review, research efforts focused on subsurface science are being led by Dr. Tim Schiebe of PNNL, Dr. Paul Meakin of Idaho National Laboratory, Dr. Peter Lichtner of LANL, Dr. Dave Zachmann of Colorado State University, and a number of other investigators. Humans have entered into and explored a wide range of environments, ranging from the deep ocean to the upper atmosphere and even outer space. But for the most part, the subsurface environment hidden beneath the surface of our planet remains enigmatic and directly observable only through limited points of access. This visualization of pore-scale flow velocities was computed using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method. Green surfaces are isosurfaces of velocity, red surfaces are external grain surfaces, and blue surfaces are internal views of grain surfaces (where grains are partially cut away).
