Simulation. "Why simulate?" we might ask. Dan Tetzlaff and John
Harbaugh answer that question in Simulating Clastic Sedimentation,
and answer it effec tively. Readers will have no trouble following
this well-documented, clear ex pose on clastic-sedimentation
simulation. The sophistication in simulation since 1970, compared
to the early work, is enormous. The development and availability of
hardware, especially graphics, has made such advancement pos sible.
The authors' presentation allows us to share in this exciting new
approach to geological problem solving. The book contains a
glossary, notation conven tion, program listings, plenty of
illustrations, and chapter summaries to en lighten the users.
Everything is readily available to make this a self-contained,
how-to and how-to-interpret book. After introducing the subject of
simulation, the authors take the reader step-by-step through the
computation and reasoning of the erosion, transporta tion, and
deposition of clastic sediments. Fluid flow, transport, boundary
con ditions, and space and time are all explained, and details are
given as to how each of these factors were accounted for in the
simulation. The simulation is compared to different known
situations, such as braided streams and deltas, for assessment as
to realism. The final chapter gives two real-world applications
where a simulated model is compared to the Simpson Canyon Field in
north ern Alaska and the Golden Meadow Field in southern Louisiana.
From these simulations was gained some understanding of the
conditions under which c- ix Series Editor's Foreword tain
sedimentary units were formed.
