Generation of unstructured mesh of geological models for geomechanical simulations

Development of new tools and methodolgies to generate unstructured meshes conformal to geological interfaces● Adaptive tetrahedral meshing: control the size of the mesh elements according to the geological feature proximity (horizons, faults or wells) to increase the accuracy of the numerical simulation● Hex-dominant meshing: conversion of a tetrahedral mesh into a mixed-element mesh (tetrahedra, pyramids, prisms and hexahedra) to reduce the number of mesh elements and the node valence● Software development: implement external libraries in C++ using fast and light mesh data structures and parallel implementations: ○ RINGMesh: open source programming library for manipulating meshes of geological models (https://bitbucket.org/ring_team/ringmesh) ○ VorteXLib: programming library for generating tetrahedral and hex-dominant meshes of geological models (http://www.ring-team.org/software/ring-libraries/45-vortexlib)Link: http://www.ring-team.org/home/alumni?view=user&limitstart=0&id=432Academic work• Supervisor of end-of-studies internship at ENI• Supervisor of three Master students at University of Lorraine
