Mathematical modelling of compaction and diagenesis in sedimentary basins
We begin by analysing the simplest case of poroelastic compaction which in a 1-D case results in a nonlinear diffusion equation, controlled principally by a dimensionless parameter $\lambda$, which is the ratio of the hydraulic conductivity to the sedimentation rate. We provide analytic and numerica...
