Here is a nicely formatted ipython notebook version of running the algorithm with Case 3 in SPE-182614-MS.
This code includes following three algorithm to construct the streamlines within a 2.5D wellblock
- Standard Subdivision Method - The wellblock is subdivided by four triangular sub-grids and streamlines are traced using extended Pollock's algorithm ( Chapter 8 on Datta-Gupta and King, 2007)
- Embedded Method - The velocity field is solved using virtual-boundary-element method (VBEM) and streamlines are traced using numercial integertor.The detailed description can be found on SPE-182614-MS
- Simple Fill-Grid Method - The average time-of-flight (TOF) is estimated and no streamlines are explicited traced (Natvig et al. 2007).
