TY  - JOUR
AB  - non-intrusive  model  reduction  computational  method  using hypersurfaces representation has been developed for reservoir simulation and further applied to 3D fluvial channel problems in this work. This is achieved by a  combination  of  a  radial  basis  function  (RBF)  interpolation  and  proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method. The advantage of the method is that it is generic and non-intrusive, that is, it does not require modifications to the original complex  source  code, for  example,  a 3D  unstructured  mesh  control volume finite element (CVFEM) reservoir model used here. The capability of this  non-intrusive  reduced  order  model  (NIROM)  based  on  hypersurfaces representation has been numerically illustrated in a horizontally layered porous media case, and then further applied to a 3D complex fluvial channel case. By comparing the results of the NIROM against the solutions obtained from the high  fidelity  full  model,  it  is  shown  that  this  NIROM  results  in  a  large reduction in the CPU computation cost while much of the details are captured.
