Distributed Simulation has still to be adopted significantly by the wider simulation community. Reasons for this might that distributed applications are difficult develop and access multiple computing resources required. Cloud offers low-cost on-demand resources. Developing can use cloud also complex, particularly those run on different clouds. Cloud-based (CBDS) is potentially attractive, as i...

To broaden the use of simulation for teaching, in particular of new procedures and of low-volume procedures, we propose an environment and workflow that allows surgeon-educators create teaching modules. Our challenge is to make the simulation tools accessible, modifiable and sharable by users with moderate computer and VR experience. Our contribution is a workflow that promotes consistency betw...

As a contribution for eScience, we discuss the bottom-up derivation of scientific choreography models from existing simulation workflows interconnected as a multi-scale and multi-field simulation. Starting from a motivating scenario of only implicitly coupled simulation workflows for the studying of thermal aging of ironcopper alloys, we present a choreography life cycle supporting the bottom-u...

When running an analytical liquid rate simulation on a bounded reservoir an artefact due to Laplace transform numerical inversion algorithm can be noticed. This issue can be illustrated with a simple example: liquid rate simulation on a closed circular homogeneous reservoir with a fracture. The details of the simulation are graphically given in Figure 1(a). The simulation results can be seen in...

State-of-the-art data analysis in production allows engineers to characterize reservoirs using production data. This saves companies large sums that should otherwise be spend on well testing and reservoir simulation and modeling. There are two shortcomings with today’s production data analysis: It needs bottom-hole or well-head pressure data in addition to data for rating reservoirs’ characteri...

Simulator exercises are used at Midwestern University to augment academic and laboratory training toward consolidating particular skills, increasing situation awareness, and preparing the student for practice within the team environment of an operating room. This paper describes an enhanced cardiopulmonary bypass simulator consisting of a self-priming hemodynamic reservoir that includes an inli...

In the scientific field, workflow technology is often employed to conduct computer simulations or computer supported experiments. The underlying IT infrastructure typically comprises resources distributed among different institutes and organisations all over the world. Traditionally, workflows are executed on a single machine while the invoked software is accessed remotely. This approach impose...

During history match reservoir models are calibrated against production data to improve forecasts reliability. Often, the calibration ends up with a handful of matched models, sometime achieved without preserving the prior geological interpretation. This makes the outcome of many history matching projects unsuitable for a probabilistic approach to production forecast, then motivating the quest ...

Reservoir uncertainty analysis is targeted at obtaining assessments and predictions of reservoir performance, for the purpose of guiding development and operational decisions. However, accurately analyzing various reservoir uncertainty factors is a challenging issue due to the associated large-scale data manipulation and massive reservoir simulations which cannot be easily handled with the typi...

Water reservoir programming studies aim to determine the final cultivated land area based on predefined agricultural models and water requirements. Dam utilization rule curve is also provided in such studies. The system of Dez dam water resources was simulated applying the basic information in order to determine the capability of its reservoir to provide the objectives of the performed plan. As...
