ABSTRACT:
A method for forming a 2D or 3D diffusive type model allowing simulation of multilithologic filling of a sedimentary basin over geologic periods. The model is based on the numerical simulation of the evolution of a sedimentary basin, from the past to the present, in a series of time intervals. In each time interval, three major phenomena interact and are numerically modelled: basin deformation, sediment supply and transportation of these sediments in the deformed basin. To model sediment transportation, long-term permanent transportation (creeping, slow diffusion process, etc.), short-term transportation (due to rain and flood) and catastrophic transportation (notably due to cliff collapse) are taken into account using an exponential water velocity model.
