Technical Specifications
ResSolution's key feature is its robust and general support for automatically adapted grids. This feature makes ResSolution a very useful tool for modeling very complex reservoirs. From a computational standpoint, ResSolution is very fast, stable, and memory efficient, this allows cost-effective simulation studies of large and complex oil reservoirs and groundwater flow problems.
ResSolution has the following operational capabilities on arbitrary two and three-dimensional grids:
Reservoir modeling:
- Support of full tensor permeabilities for geologically complex reservoirs.
- Groundwater flow in saturated/unsaturated media with accurate interface resolution.
- Multi-phase immiscible displacements, including capillary and gravity effects.
- Modeling of wells with arbitrary trajectories (not limited by the underlying grid).
- Efficient well modeling for large fields (up to thousands of wells).
Simulation models:
- Finite volume (edge based) and finite element approximations.
- Accurate representation of arbitrary boundary conditions through the use of gridblock/element faces.
- Accurate upwinding techniques for transport equations.
- Streamline approximations for transport equations.
