[Opm] Rel Perm measurements with FLOW

[Alf Birger Rustad]

Hi Lezin,

Actually, I have not checked how flexible opendect is. It is open source though, so you should be able to point it to your Flow binary of choice without too much effort. That also goes for running in parallel, as it is as simple as invoking Flow with mpirun. It may not be catered to in the application, but finding where in the code it calls Flow, and replacing with what you want, is probably quite easy.

Flow_ebos is an experimental code, that is quite close to Flow these days. We are looking at ways to unify the two more. As a user, Flow is what you want to look at though. Flow_ebos still lacks functionality found in Flow, and the numerics is less tested.

BTW, you forgot to cc the mailing list. Re-added it in this e-mail.

Cheers,
Alf

Hello Alf,

Thanks a lot for your email, this should help us a lot! I will give it a try.

I had a couple of other questions related to this:
- is it possible to parallelize the simulation with Opendect?
- do I need to have flow compiled or is it fine to install it with yum?
- while looking into the opm-simulator repo, I noticed that there is a flow and a flow_ebos. What is the difference between those two? As far as I understood, they are different implementations of the flow simulator, but I'm not sure I understood how.
- follow up on the previous question: does the difference matter in the case of using opendect?

Looking forward and thank you again for your help!
