The C++ object-oriented programming approach in fluid and gas mechanics numerical problems.

Functional programming is the conventional approach for the numerical solutions in the problems of continuum mechanics. Nevertheless, in the case of complex problems, it becomes really difficult to design, develop and maintain the source code using functional programming.

This project attempts to understand how deep such numerical models can be based on paradigms of object-oriented programming and whether this can troubleshoot the abovementioned difficulties.

The following reservoir engineering problem is solved:

• two-phase compressible fluids (methane and water)
• a two-dimensional arial grid system
• there is a production well in the center of the reservoir
• the volume of the boundary grid blocks is artificially increased using pore volume multipliers when modelling the aquifer
