This paper describes a new iterative technique for the solution of linear systems of equations arising in petroleum reservoir simulation. The procedure exploits a powerful, vectorizable preconditioner to accelerate generalized conjugate residual methods. Speed and robustness of the new method compare favorably with previously published schemes. These attributes will be demonstrated in actual applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
