Abstract

In this paper a hybrid, finite element - boundary element method which can be used to solve for particle advection-diffusion in infinite domains with variable advective fields is presented. In previous work either boundary element, finite element, or difference methods have been used to solve for particle motion in advective-diffusive domains. These methods have a number of limitations. Due to the complexity of computing spatially dependent Green's functions, the boundary element method is limited to domains containing only constant advective fields, and due to their inheren
