| Abstract: |
A non-intrusive model reduction computational method using hypersurfaces representation has been developed for reservoir simulation and further applied to 3D fluvial channel problems in this work. This is achieved by a combination of a radial basis function (RBF) interpolation and proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method. The advantage of the method is that it is generic and non-intrusive, that is, it does not require modifications to the original complex source code, for example, a 3D unstructured mesh control volume finite element (CVFEM) reservoir model used here. The capability of this non-intrusive reduced order model (NIROM) based on hypersurfaces representation has been numerically illustrated in a horizontally layered porous media case, and then further applied to a 3D complex fluvial channel case. By comparing the results of the NIROM against the solutions obtained from the high fidelity full model, it is shown that this NIROM results in a large reduction in the CPU computation cost while much of the details are captured. |
