Reduction of computational times using the equivalent rectangle concept in the physics-based surface - subsurface models

The interaction between surface and subsurface domains in a basin can be studied using a physics-based model; however, the calibration and validation processes require a high computational effort due to their complex geometry. The authors propose an alternative to reduce the computational times duri...
