29
_____ (either areal or cross-sectional) to minimize the number of cells not in the simulated region; these cells have no porosity.
Rotate your grid
30
In orienting the grid system, if faults are _____ to the axes, it is much simpler to define them.
parallel
31
If individual data is important, a ______
minimum of three cells should exist between wells
32
Wells should be located as close as possible to the _____; results will not vary significantly as long as the well is in the central-half of the pore volume of the cell.
center of the cell
33
A common sense rule, but one often overlooked, is to _____ when laying out the original grid.
plan ahead for future wells
34
_____ should not vary in pore volume by more than a factor of two for ease of timestep solution.
