Figure 6.4: A-C show the spatial distribution <strong>of</strong> lnK, histogram <strong>and</strong> variogram<br />

<strong>of</strong> the 1st realization from the correct prior model; D-F show the same characteristics<br />

<strong>of</strong> the 1st realization from wrong prior model. In C <strong>and</strong> F, solid line<br />

<strong>and</strong> dotted line correspond to the experimental facies variogram in X <strong>and</strong> Y<br />

direction, respectively.<br />

is used. This evolution is analyzed for each <strong>of</strong> the two flow patterns induced<br />

by the two sets <strong>of</strong> boundary conditions, <strong>and</strong> also for the cases in which the<br />

correct <strong>and</strong> an erroneous prior r<strong>and</strong>om functions are used.<br />

Scenarios S1, S2, S7 <strong>and</strong> S8 are unconditional, they are the base cases<br />

containing the initial ensemble realizations to be used by the NS-EnKF in the<br />

other scenarios. They will produce the worst results in terms <strong>of</strong> conductivity<br />

characterization <strong>and</strong> piezometric head predictions <strong>and</strong> will serve as a starting<br />

point to assess the benefits <strong>of</strong> using the correct prior model, the assimilation<br />

<strong>of</strong> dynamic piezometric head information, <strong>and</strong> the use <strong>of</strong> localization.<br />

Scenarios S1 to S6, S13 <strong>and</strong> S14 use boundary conditions inducing parallel<br />

flow through the aquifer, <strong>and</strong> scenarios S7 to S12 boundary conditions inducing<br />

radial flow.<br />

The prior r<strong>and</strong>om function models for all realizations share the same histogram<br />

<strong>and</strong> variogram but they differ in their higher order moments. Scenarios<br />

S3, S4, S9, S10, <strong>and</strong> S13, use the same r<strong>and</strong>om function model used to generate<br />

the reference, i.e., the facies follow the r<strong>and</strong>om function model implicit in the<br />

training image <strong>of</strong> Figure 6.1 on which two independent multiGaussian r<strong>and</strong>om<br />

functions are overlaid to describe the variability <strong>of</strong> conductivity within each<br />

facies. Scenarios S5, S6, S11, S12 <strong>and</strong> S14, use a r<strong>and</strong>om function model for<br />
