SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF MULTI-SCALE MESHING FOR GEOLOGIC TIME MODELING

摘要

A system and method for modeling a geological structure may include, in an initial model, computing a first function for a geological structure including a first set of iso-surfaces. A processor may detect if the first set of iso-surfaces intersect a set of geological markers within a threshold proximity. If not, the initial model may be corrected using an induced mesh having an increased cell resolution compare to the initial model for computing a second function for the geological structure including a second set of iso-surfaces that intersect the set of geological markers within the threshold proximity. A processor may insert the second set of iso-surfaces into a second model to locally increase its resolution relative to the initial model by dividing cells in the second model along the second set of iso-surfaces. For each new geological structure, the above steps may be repeated using the second model as the initial model.
