SPE11B#

SPE11B is a two-dimensional field-scale case. The configurations compare Cartesian and corner-point grids, a convective-dissolution model, and a fine 1 m reference simulation.

Configurations#

r1_Cart_10m

Uniform 10 m Cartesian grid with 1 m cells at the left and right boundaries.

r2_cp_10mish

Corner-point grid with an approximate cell size of 10 m and 1 m boundary cells.

r3_cp_10mish_convective

Approximate 10 m corner-point grid using the convective-dissolution model for facies 2 and 5.

r4_Cart_1m

Uniform 1 m Cartesian grid.

pyopmspe11 -i r4_Cart_1m.toml -o r4_Cart_1m -m all -g all -r 840,1,120 -t 5 -w 0.1

See pyopmspe11 -m, pyopmspe11 -g, pyopmspe11 -r, pyopmspe11 -t, and pyopmspe11 -w.

Key observations#

For quantities reported in box A, the convective model in r3 compares well with the fine-scale r4 simulation while running approximately 500 times faster.

The convective implementation continues to be improved for regions where dissolved CO2 accumulates. See Mykkeltvedt et al. (2025) for the model description.
