Abstract

In this paper, we study a problem of identifying a parameter of a nonlinear diffusion evolution model. This kind of problem usually occurs in petroleum engineering in the case of reservoir simulation where a parameter depends on the state of the system. To carry out this work, we use a deterministic method of variational data assimilation based on the discrete adjoint method.
