💖 UPSCALE_STEADYSTATE_IMPLICIT 💖

okay bestie, so this is upscale_steadystate_implicit from the User Commands section of the manual, and it is literally the glow-up machine for two-phase relative permeability. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

upscale_steadystate_implicit — upscale two-phase relative permeability 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

upscale_steadystate_implicit [option=value] [option=value] ...

like, you just keep stacking option=value pairs and she keeps eating them. iconic behavior.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: this tool upscales two-phase relative permeability, and it does it across different saturations and different pressure gradients. she's thorough. she's booked and busy. 💅

Here's the whole routine, step by step:

  • For every saturation point, the model gets initialized with capillary equilibrium first. set the stage, queen.
  • Then, for each of the pressure drop points, the transport solver is run until steady state is reached.
  • Once she's steady, the relative permeabilities are computed straight from the phase mobilities. that's the payoff. that's the main character moment. ✨

Example usage, copy-paste it exactly:

upscale_steadystate_implicit fileformat=eclipse filename=grid.grdecl
rock_list=rocklist.txt boudary_condition_type=0
🫶 yes, boudary_condition_type is spelled that way in the example. type it exactly like that. do not "fix" it, bestie, I'm begging.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • fileformat — the grid format, bb. it's either eclipse or cartiesian. (yep, cartiesian — that's literally how it's written.) defaults to cartesian. 👑
  • filename — the grid filename. the actual grid. the whole point. 🗂️
  • rock_list — a file holding a list of one file name per satnum, and each one specifies the two-phase properties for that rock type. it's giving very organized. 🍓
  • boundary_condition_type — the boundary condition type. simple. elegant. she does what she says. 🌈
