This commit adds support for assigning the initial phase pressure
distribution to a subset of the total grid cells. This is needed in
order to fully support equilibration regions. The existing region
support (template parameter 'Region' in function 'phasePressures()')
was only used/needed to define PVT property (specifically, the fluid
phase density) calculator pertaining to a particular equilibration
region.
This commit adds a simple facility for calculating initial phase
pressures assuming stationary conditions, a known reference pressure
in the oil zone as well as the depth and capillary pressures at the
water-oil and gas-oil contacts.
Function 'Opm::equil::phasePressures()' uses a simple ODE/IVP-based
approach, solved using the traditional RK4 method with constant step
sizes, to derive the required pressure values. Specifically, we
solve the ODE
dp/dz = rho(z,p) * g
with 'z' represening depth, 'p' being a phase pressure and 'rho' the
associate phase density. Finally, 'g' is the acceleration of
gravity. We assume that we can calculate phase densities, e.g.,
from table look-up. This assumption holds in the case of an ECLIPSE
input deck.
Using RK4 with constant step sizes is a limitation of this
implementation. This, basically, assumes that the phase densities
varies only smoothly with depth and pressure (at reservoir
conditions).
our policy is that we only use boost if necessary, i.e., if the oldest
supported compiler does not support a given feature but boost
does. since we recently switched to GCC 4.4 or newer, std::shared_ptr
is available unconditionally.
The current implementations of IncompPropertiesInterface are very
all-or-nothing. In some situations, you want to read rock and fluid
properties from an Eclipse file, but use analytical functions for
the unsaturated properties. Or you want to update properties based
on a marching filter.
This patch provides a way to mix various property objects, or to
"shadow" the properties with a raw array of data, so you don't have
to reimplement the entire interface just to make a small change.
The numbers in the deck are more indicative of FIELD unit conventions
than METRIC unit conventions, so allow the input parser to interpret
the data in that manner.
