Description

We give an introduction to the open-source research software PorePy, which is a multiphysics simulation framework primarily aimed at fractured porous media. PorePy provides (semi)automatic mesh generation for complex fracture networks and comes with a set of multiphysics simulation setups that are ready to run and can easily be adapted to user demands. The framework emphasizes robust formulations and numerical methods and aims to faithfully follow the mathematical description of the governing processes (e.g., conservation of mass). PorePy is in part built as a library, where some parts (e.g. meshing) can be extracted and combined with other software in wider workflows.

For the demonstration, we will provide jupyter notebooks that allow users to get going with setting up PorePy simulations, targeting flow and transport processes in DFN geometries. The material will be made available through GitHub Codespaces (which require only a GitHub account, no local installation) and through a Docker container. A script for local installations on Linux systems can also be made available.

Preferred duration for demo/hackathon Preferred length is 2 hours; can be shortened (somewhat) and lengthened depending on wider organizational requirements.
