Lesson 11 overview ================== This week we encounter our second common geoscience equation, the advection equation. Similar to last week, we will start with a short lecture about the advection equation and its application to modelling river erosion. There are also some notes posted for how to solve the advection-diffusion equation. These are not required reading, but may be of interest for the exercise this week. As usual we will finish with the exercise for this week. 1. `Advection of Earth's surface lecture slides <../../_static/slides/L11/Advection-lecture-slides.pdf>`__ 2. :doc:`Notes on solving the advection-diffusion equation ` (*optional*) 3. :doc:`Exercise 11 ` 4. :doc:`Exercise 11 hints ` Learning objectives ------------------- After completing this week's lesson you should be able to: - Explain the general concept of advection and how is it defined mathematically - Give examples of geological processes that can be modelled using the advection equation
