Stratigraphic modeling and simulation

Stratigraphy is a discipline of physics that aims at predicting the geological composition of the subsoil. In [44], N. Peton, C. Cancès et al. propose a new water flow driven forward stratigraphic model with the following particularities. First, the water surface flow is modelled at the continuous level, in opposition to what is currently done in this community. Second, the model incorporates a constraint on the erosion rate. A stable numerical scheme is proposed to simulate the model.
