Myron Allen

Biography

Myron Allen joined the University of Wyoming faculty in 1983. He came to the University of Wyoming from Princeton University. His mathematical interests include numerical analysis, mathematical modeling, and fluid mechanics in porous media. Applications of these areas include the analysis and prediction of contaminant flows in groundwater aquifers and flows of native and injected fluids in oil and gas reservoirs.Flows of this type obey a remarkable variety of partial differential equations, including equations of elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic type as well as nonlinear, coupled systems having mixed type. The equations generally require numerical solution. Numerical methods of interest include mixed finite elements, cell-centered finite-differences, Eulerian-Lagrangian methods such as the modified method of characteristics, streamline diffusion methods, and finite-volume methods.
