Learn how to install libopm-grid on Debian 12 with this tutorial. libopm-grid is DUNE grid implementations for reservoir simulation – library

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libopm-grid on Debian 12.

What is libopm-grid

libopm-grid 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 library of the grid implementations.
