Question about modelling multilayer systems with VE assumption in MRST

[ahmadreza shojaee]

Dear MRST team,

I am trying to understand how to model multilayer systems using the vertical equilibrium (VE) assumption in MRST.

I have read the paper by Møyner et al. on coupled / multiresolution VE modelling, where they present examples of VE models with multiple layers or regions. I am particularly interested in the cases where more than one aquifer layer is represented with VE assumptions and the layers are coupled within one simulation (Like the given example below).

I would like to ask:

1. Where can I find the example files corresponding to those multilayer VE cases presented in the paper?
2. Are those examples included in MRST or CO2Lab?
3. Is there any simple tutorial or minimal example showing how to set up a multilayer VE model in MRST?

My main interest is a system with two or more reservoir layers separated by a caprock or sealing layer or sealing interface (by setting transmissibility to zero), where more than one VE top surface may be needed.

I would be very grateful for any guidance or pointers to example scripts.

Kind regards,
Ahmad

Dear Ahmad,

Have a look at the examples included in the hybrid-ve module for examples from the paper you mentioned. 

You could also have a look at hybridSleipner.m example, in the sleipner module, for an example of setting up the Sleipner benchmark model as a multilayer VE model.

Hope that helps!

Dear Fran,

Thank you very much. I will have a look into that and come back to you if need more helps. 

Best,

Ahmad
