MRST 2021b Release

[francesca.watson]

Dear all,

We are happy to announce that the latest MRST software release, MRST 2021b, is now available to download from our website: https://www.sintef.no/projectweb/mrst/download/

Release notes can be found here: https://www.sintef.no/projectweb/mrst/download/release-notes-for-mrst-2021b/

The new release comes with some improvements in functionality and minor bug fixes. In particular we would like to highlight the following:

• Network models. The network-models module has been introduced to add functionality for creating reduced simulation models that represent the reservoir as a network of 1D flow paths connecting wells. 
• Flexible code for adjoint-based computation of model parameters. The new ModelParameter class and accompanying utilities can be used to set up model tuning optimization problems which can be solved using MRST-internal or external optimizers. New examples include tuning of both coarsened models and network-type models

We hope you find the software useful in your work.

Best wishes,

Francesca
