How To Install libopm-grid-dev on Ubuntu 22.04
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libopm-grid-dev on Ubuntu 22.04.
What is libopm-grid-dev
libopm-grid-dev is:
The Open Porous Media (OPM) software suite provides libraries and tools for modeling and simulation of porous media processes, especially for simulating CO2 sequestration and improved and enhanced oil recovery.
opm-grid provides implementations of grids for reservoir simulation, corner point or more general pillar grids, following the DUNE grid interface: CpGrid, a parallel corner point grid, and PolyhedralGrid a more general serial grid implementation of an unstructured, legacy, grid.
A standard grid type in the petroleum industry, corner-point grids fills the domain with a relatively low number of cells while still providing sufficient flexibility to model faults, fractures and erosion. The grid format was originally designed with an eye towards geological modeling rather than numerical simulation, but is still suitable for e.g. low order finite volume discretizations.
This package provides the development files for the grid implementations, i.e. the headers and shared library links.
