Abstract:
The main goal of petroleum reservoir simulation is finding of Pressure (P) and Saturation (S) of fluid in different places of prose media environment of the reservoir in a specific time interval. In this project we will implement a distributed reservoir simulator of a cluster. In fact parallelization of reservoir simulator is finding a method to decompose the reservoir domain into some region and assigning each region to a computer in a cluster of parallel computers in order to minimize the total amount of dependency of regions to each other and messages between nodes in the parallel network according to fluid equation in the system and finaly minimize' the duration of simulation. In this project we first describe the problem precisely and after that give an implementation for some basic models in simulation, finally we will provide architecture for developing parallel reservoir simulator. In last section we will show results of the program for some differenct models and clusters and compute the speedup of simulation.
