Flexible Objects - A Way to Generate more Realistic Object-based Simulations

The object-based simulation is revisited by handling objects with complex geometry to overcome the lack of realism of standard object-based simulation. GPGPU capabilities (General-Purpose Computing on Graphics Processing Units) are used to achieve the intensive numerical computations and intensive geometric queries. The case study presented to illustrate the technique is the modeling of the internal architecture of a lobe complex in a reservoir of Western Africa.
