Abstract
performance Berkeley general purpose simulator and heat flow and transport with addition of a of preconditioned conjugate solvers. was tested on threc Maclntosh 800. and a IBM RlSC 6000. A two-phase. single porosity, 3-D geothermal reservoir model I grid blocks, with production from and injection the as the modcl code modifications TOUGH2 and setup each machine described. Computational work per time step and CPU requirements reported each of the machines used. is concluded that the current platform for running large-scale geothermal field simulations that a years could only be executed on computers and high-end workstations.
