Applications for PetraSim and the simulators it supports include:
- Coupled process modeling (thermal, hydrologic, chemical, mechanical, biological)
- Carbon sequestration and other types of injection.
- Performance assessment of nuclear waste repositories.
- Geothermal reservoir studies.
- Vadose zone hydrology.
With Adaptive Groundwater you can:
- Quickly create three-dimensional flow and transport models
- Significantly reduce model development cost
- Develop very large, high-resolution regional models
- More accurately and efficiently compute hydraulic head and solute concentration solutions (grid refinement is automatically added in regions of high head and/or concentration gradients)
- Quickly change the grid resolution by simply varying the number of AMR levels
- Accurately simulate thin and highly-stratified plumes (the higher-order Eulerian-Lagrangian transport solution significantly reduces numerical dispersion)
- Take advantage of multiple-core processors
- Use much larger time steps when simulating advection-dominated transport
- Reduce computational effort (the simulation time step is automatically adjusted based on the velocity field and cell sizes
- Visually monitor simulation progress during model runs
