Faulted Stratigraphic Grids: Direct Construction

@inproceedings{Levy98GM,
 abstract = { In the most general case of building faulted curvilinear grids, the SGrid
eut algorithm offers a precise solution. As any intersection algorithm, this
implies quite heavy computations, relying on complex data structures.
Moreover, the grids generated using this method can present irregularities
which may cause numerical instabilities in flow simulators. In sorne
cases studied in this paper, the grid is to be constructed from a reference
horizon, as for instance the top or the bottom of a reservoir. In this case,
it is possible to create the faulted grid directly, relying on both a parameterization
of the reference horizon and topological information. A side
effect of this latter point is that the grid fits the reference horizon more
precisely. This technique can be easily combined with parameterizing and
morphing tools, resulting in a powerfull, modular and highly customizable
gridding method. },
