We propose the use of Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) within the context of the Material Point
Method (MPM), and refer to the approach as IGA-MPM. We use the idea of IGA, and its …

We propose a new way to include strong velocity discontinuities in the material point method
(MPM). We use the recent idea of damage gradient partitioning to dynamically determine …

Abstract Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand (CHOPS) is a wellknown primary heavy oil
recovery method. In CHOPS, a key mechanism of production is the formation of wormholes …
