MRST - MATLAB Reservoir Simulation Toolbox

Tutorials
The articles listed below show excerpts from the accompanying tutorial and give an overview of some of the functionality in the toolbox.

Gravity Column

We introduce the mimetic pressure solver and use it to solve the pressure equation describing single-phase hydro-static flow
 

Basic Flow Solver Tutorial

We give an overview of how to set up and use the mimetic solver for a single-phase pressure equation with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions.

Flow Solver with Capillary Pressure

We demonstrate the effect of capillary pressure on the solution of a two-phase oil-water problem, comparing the evolution of saturation profiles and water cuts with and without capillary pressure.

Visualizing the Johansen Formation

The Johansen formation is a candidate site for large-scale CO2 storage offshore the south-west coast of Norway. Herein, we will inspect a geological model of Johansen in more detail.

Realistic Reservoir Model, Part I

We examine a realistic (but synthetic) reservoir model. The model has faults, inactive cells, and disconnected components. We show how to read, process, and visualize the model and demonstrate how one can form an overlying coarse grid by partitioning the fine-grid uniformly in logical Cartesian space.

 

Realistic Reservoir Model, Part II

We show how to compute an incompressible two-phase flow for a realistic reservoir model. To this end, we use operator splitting and solve the pressure equation with a mimetic method and the transport equation with the implicit single-point upwind method.

Multiscale Flow Solver I

We compare the fine-grid and the multiscale pressure solver by solving the single-phase pressurefor a Cartesian grid with isotropic, homogeneous permeability.

Multiscale Flow Solver II

We demonstrate how to use the multiscale flow solver for a simple corner-point model with wavy geometry and a single fault.
