MRST 2011b was released on the 2nd of January, 2012. We refer the reader to the complete Release Notes for 2011b for a detailed description of the new features as well as issues to keep in mind if upgrading from previous releases of MRST. Here, we highlight some of the new features available in MRST 2011b.

• A new module for solving the transport equation on a coarsened, flow-adapted grid
• A new module for manipulating the 'Model 2' data set from the tenth SPE Comparative Solution Project
• Improvements to geometry processing
• Ability to explicitly identify inter-module dependencies

Terms of usage

The development of the MRST toolbox is funded by the GeoScale portfoilo of strategic research grants awarded by the Research Council of Norway. Dissemination of research results is an important evaluation criterion for these types of research grants. To provide us with an overview of the (potential) usage of our software, we ask you kindly to register your affiliation/country. This information will only be used when reporting usage statistics of MRST, e.g., to our funding agency.

If you use MRST in writing a publication, we expect that the developers are properly acknowledged by refering to the MRST webpage or citing our paper:

• K.-A. Lie, S. Krogstad, I. S. Ligaarden, J. R. Natvig, H. M. Nilsen, and B. Skaflestad. Open source MATLAB implementation of consistent discretisations on complex grids. Comput. Geosci., 2011, DOI: 10.1007/s10596-011-9244-4

We would also be grateful if you send us an email with (pointers to) your publication.

Do note, however, that the MRST requires at least MATLAB version 7.4 (R2007a). Morever, you have to run the startup.m script in the MRST root directory in order to initialize the package. If you start MATLAB from within the MRST root directory, startup.m will be run automatically, otherwise please navigate to the MRST root directory and type startup on the MATLAB command line.
