Description This project has demonstrated that the multilevel Monte Carlo method provides major improvements in the computational efficiency of Monte Carlo methods applied to the simulation of nuclear waste repositories.
Exploitation Route There is major potential for its use in the simulation of nuclear waste repositories, and also oil reservoir simulation.
