2D modeling of clastic accumulation in clinoforms under marine conditions

The 2D modeling of clastic accumulation in clinoforms under marine conditions is performed. For this purpose, two algorithms are used: the first, “geometric” one implies that the shapes of sedimentary bodies are defined by geometric methods; the second is a “diffusion” method, which is based on numerical solution of the diffusion equation. Modeling of the test section is made using different versions of these algorithms. Comparative analysis of modeling results suggests that the best fit with real sections is achieved by a combination of the geometric and diffusion algorithms.
