Reservoir Simulation for Energy Transition Application Using Open-Source DARTS Framework
Disciplines: Reservoir
Course Description
In this course, participants will learn how to perform a reservoir simulation of various Energy Transition applications using the opensource Delft Advanced Research Terra Simulator (DARTS). The primary focus and developed capabilities of DARTS include a multicomponent multiphase flow of mass and heat with chemical interactions. Advanced multiscale nonlinear formulation and adjoint capabilities improve the run-time performance which makes DARTS a perfect choice for inverse modeling.
Course Objectives:
This workshop will start with a simple 1D homogeneous geothermal model and describe the basic capabilities of the DARTS simulation engine. Next, we will present a realistic heterogeneous model for CCS application with advanced modeling and post-processing capabilities. Next, we extend the physics using the chemical formulation with kinetic reactions. Finally, participants will learn how to model complex 3D heterogeneous models in DARTS.
