P2Pflow: a Parallel two-Phase flow solver

We develop a parallel finite element solver P2Pflow for incompressible two-phase flow problems on 3D unstructured mesh. The solver is scalable on supercomputers such as Tianhe2 and Shaheen2 with 10,000+ cores. P2Pflow consists of the following two modules:

Module 1. A semi-implicit linear solver for the phase-field model with Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes equations, used for the simulation of liquid-gas-solid interaction. Ref.

Module 2. A fully implicit nonlinear solver for the two-phase flow governed by Darcy law in porous media, used for oil reservoir simulation. Ref.
