...consider a synthetic sloping aquifer, created in this tutorial. The topography of the top surface and the geological layers in the model is generated by combining the membrane function (MATLAB logo) and a sinusoidal surface with random perturbations. Here, CO2 is injected in the aquifer for a period...
...release of MRST (2011a, 22nd of February 2011), the software has stabilised and solidified further. Ongoing review has uncovered and corrected a number of programming errors that only presented under very particular conditions and would typically affect few users. Moreover, work outside the core package...
