Localized solvers for general full-resolution implicit reservoir simulation

SM Sheth, RM Younis - SPE Reservoir Simulation Conference?, 2017 - onepetro.org
In the solution of implicit reservoir simulation timesteps, the Newton iteration updates are
often very sparse; this sparsity can be as high as 95% and can vary dramatically from one …

Localized computation of newton updates in fully-implicit two-phase flow simulation

SM Sheth, RM Younis - Procedia Computer Science, 2016 - Elsevier
Abstract Fully-Implicit (FI) Methods are often employed in the numerical simulation of large-
scale subsurface flows in porous media. At each implicit time step, a Newton-like method is …

Localized computation of newton updates for general fully-implicit reservoir simulation

SM Sheth, RM Younis - ECMOR XV-15th European Conference on the …, 2016 - earthdoc.org
Reported observations suggest that Newton updates that are computed during the course of
a fully-implicit time step are often sparse. The level of sparsity can vary dramatically from …
