-opm-simulators contains simulator programs for porous media flow.
-The most important
-(and tested) part is the Flow reservoir simulator, which is a fully
-implicit black-oil simulator that also supports solvent and polymer
-options. It is built using automatic differentiation, using the local
-AD class Evaluation from opm-material.
+opm-simulators contains the OPM Flow reservoir simulator, which is a fully
+implicit black-oil simulator that also supports CO2 storage, H2 storage, thermal,
+solvent, and polymer options. It supports input and output in the common Eclipse formats,
+allowing easy integration in existing workflows.
+Its system assembly approach builds on automatic differentiation,
+using the local AD class Evaluation from opm-common. The linear solver subsystem is based on
+the dune-istl library.
