SPE11c

[Abir Hasan Bhuiyan]

Hello, I tried to run the SPE11c model but faced the following issue. Can you please help me to resolve it? The screenshot of the error message is attached below:

Hei,
It seems the operating system is running out of memory as described in OPM/opm-simulators#4836 (comment)
This could be confirm if the case with less cells runs https://github.com/OPM/pyopmspe11/blob/main/examples/hello_world/spe11c.txt
Then you could try to reduce the grid size to be able to run it in your device.

Thank you for the reply. What is the size of the memory you recommend to use in order to run the full scale simulation for SPE11C?

This is a non-trivial question that I hope the benchmark will answer in the end. The memory size scales with the number of grid cells, so the question is what resolution is sufficient to capture the CO2 dense fingers in the brine sufficiently accurate. A classical grid-convergence study may help but require access to large super-computer resources. I would suggest you start testing on a coarse grid (just change the input file for the c case) that fits your current memory in your VB.
