NODE POSITIONING ALGORITHM
which were developed using the PDE Modeler application within the program MATLAB. The CVBEM models correctly identified the LUST in the three problems that were examined, but the FEM models did not correctly identify the LUSTs. Part of the error of the FEM models came from the post-processing step of computing the gradient of the modeling outcome in order to obtain flowlines from the computed potential values. However, this step was not necessary in the CVBEM modeling as a consequence of the Cauchy-Riemann equations. The addi- tional accuracy provided by CVBEM models for these problems can be of immense importance as the ability or inability to track groundwater contamination can trigger environmental, health, and legal repercussions.
