Modify the physical model

Create SPE11B configurations with different physical models and compare their runtime and benchmark results.

Create the configurations

Copy the example configuration:

cp examples/spe11b.toml immiscible.toml
cp examples/spe11b.toml isothermal.toml
cp examples/spe11b.toml convective.toml

Set model in each file:

model = "immiscible"

Use isothermal and convective in the corresponding files. The supplied SPE11B configuration can be retained as the complete case.

The supported models are:

immiscible

Supports fast prototyping without component dissolution.

isothermal

Includes component dissolution but omits thermal effects.

convective

Enables the convective-dissolution model.

complete

Includes component dissolution and thermal effects.

Run the cases

pyopmspe11 -i immiscible.toml -o immiscible -m deck_flow_data -w 1
pyopmspe11 -i isothermal.toml -o isothermal -m deck_flow_data -w 1
pyopmspe11 -i convective.toml -o convective -m deck_flow_data -w 1

Result

Models with fewer degrees of freedom generally run faster.
