A revised reference manual for OPM Flow is now available. As usual, all new functionality in Flow has been documented. This now brings the manual up to 1897 pages! Another huge thanks to David Baxendale for his relentless efforts keeping the manual in great shape!
Most of the talks from the 2020 OPM Meeting in Eichstätt are now available on the talks and publications page.
Dear OPM community,
At the recent OPM meeting, it was decided to require newer versions of some libraries and compilers for building OPM Flow going forward. The new requirements are:
These requirements are easy to satisfy on newer systems such as Ubuntu 18.04. In particular, Dune 2.6 is provided for Ubuntu 18.04 through our package archive (ppa), which can be added as follows if you did not do so already:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:opm/ppa sudo apt-get update
For older systems such as Ubuntu 16.04 it will still be possible to install binaries of existing versions of OPM Flow (up to version 2019.10), but if you need newer features you will need to upgrade.
Build instructions will be updated shortly to reflect this.
A revised reference manual for OPM Flow is now available. Compared to the revision from June, this is an even more massive update. This time all Eclipse 100 keywords are present, including documentation of all the new functionality. Another huge thanks to David Baxendale for his relentless efforts keeping the manual in great shape!
We are pleased to invite you to participate in the 2020 OPM Meeting on February 4-5, 2020! This time the event will be hosted by Dr. Blatt – HPC-Simulation-Software & Services in Eichstätt, Germany.
For those arriving during the day, we will reserve tables to meetup in a restaurant/pub on Monday Feb 3. The next day will be full of talks (given by attendees) and end with a conference dinner in the evening. Wednesday will be more informal and developer centric with talks and discussion sessions and groups.
For more information (including schedule, travel information) and registration, please visit the registration page. Please register as early as possible to make planning more easy.
We hope to welcome all of you in Eichstätt next year.
We are happy to announce the 2019.10 release of OPM. Binary Packages for Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 as well as Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7. For further information please read the installation instructions
The former module ewoms of OPM has been renamed to opm-models in this release. Some of its directories have been renamed to reflect this (ewoms/blackoil -> opm/models/blackoil, ewoms/common -> opm/models/utils, ewoms/disc -> opm/models/discretization, ewoms/io -> opm/models/io, ewoms->parallel -> opm/models/parallel, ewoms/linear -> opm/simulators/linalg).
Further changes/improvements included in this release are:
Special thanks goes to everybody in the community for testing and
especially to Arne Morten Kvarving for preparing the binary packages and discovering all mistakes by the release manager (Markus Blatt) in no time.
An experimental foam module has been added to OPM Flow, and will be part of release 2019.10. With this it is possible to simulate certain types of surfactant injection. Such injection stimulates formation of foam to change mobility ratios, and give better reservoir sweep.
The implemented foam model treats surfactant transported in the gas phase, and reduces the mobility of that phase depending on the surfactant concentration. In addition to mobility reduction, adsorption to the reservoir rock is included in the model. To test the foam module use the keywords, FOAM, FOAMADS, FOAMMOB, FOAMROCK and WFOAM.
The model has not been tested on anything but artificial test cases so far, it is therefore likely to have omissions and bugs. If you try it out, please give us feedback by the mailinglist, github issues or direct email! A simple test case based on SPE1 has been added to the opm-tests repository, in the directory spe1_foam.
A revised reference manual for OPM Flow is now available. Compared to the revision from January, this is a massive update. There is of course the relentless efforts of documenting all the new functionality. What makes this massive is however the inclusion of file format documentation on the output side. You will find EGRID, INIT and RESTART files documented in Appendix D. Another huge thanks to David Baxendale for his relentless efforts keeping the manual in great shape!
