The BS Eagle Project

November 13, 2009

The BS Eagle Project (bs-eagle) is an open source black-oil simulator. The main goal of this project is to provide a free access to the state of the art oil simulation software to study new methods of oil's simulation.

The project based on a BlueSky integration platform and has a modular architecture and open to modifications and extensions.

Current available plugins are:

  • linear solvers (gmres, cgs, tfqmr, bicgstab, csr_ilu_prec)
  • data storages (hdf5)
  • grids (ijk, eclipse)
  • wells (fully implicit black oil model)
  • jacobian's fillers
  • array arithmetics

To build bs-eagle you need:

  1. BlueSky kernel
  2. Python 2.5
  3. SCons (or MS Visual Studio 2005)
  4. Boost library 1.39
  5. Loki 0.1.6
  6. HDF5 1.8.3
    1. SZIP, recomended version 2.1
    2. ZLIB, recomended version 1.2

Example of BlueSky BuildSystem script placed at examples/scons_env.custom and examples/scons_vars.custom.
