• Abstract: There is a need to accurately simulate materials with complex electromagnetic properties when modelling Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), as many objects encountered with GPR contain water, e.g. soils, curing concrete, and water-filled pipes. One of widely-used open-source software that simulates electromagnetic wave propagation is gprMax. It uses Yee's algorithm to solve Maxwell's equations with the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method. A significant drawback of the FDTD method is the limited ability to model materials with dispersive properties, currently narrowed to specific set of relaxation mechanisms, namely multi-Debye, Drude and Lorentz media. Consequently, modelling any arbitrary complex material should be done by approximating it as a combination of these functions. This paper describes work carried out as part of the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) programme 2021 to develop a new module within gprMax that can be used to simulate complex dispersive materials using multi-Debye expansions in an automatic manner. The module is capable of modelling Havriliak-Negami, Cole-Cole, Cole-Davidson, Jonscher, Complex-Refractive Index Models, and indeed any arbitrary dispersive material with real and imaginary permittivity specified by the user.

  Multi-fidelity (MF) modeling is a powerful statistical approach that can intelligently blend data from varied fidelity sources. One major challenge in using MF surrogates to merge a hierarchy of melt pool models is the variability in input spaces. This paper introduces a novel approach for constructing an MF surrogate for predicting melt pool geometry by integrating models of varying complexity.

  Avoiding over-pressurization in subsurface reservoirs is critical for applications like CO2 sequestration and wastewater injection.

We use differentiable programming with a full-physics model and machine learning to determine the fluid extraction rates that prevent over-pressurization.
