OpenGeoSys 6 {#mainpage}

OpenGeoSys (OGS) is a scientific open source project for the development of numerical methods for the simulation of thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical (THMC) processes in porous and fractured media. OGS is implemented in C++, it is object-oriented with an focus on the numerical solution of coupled multi-field problems (multi-physics). Parallel versions of OGS are available relying on both MPI and OpenMP concepts. Application areas of OGS are currently CO2 sequestration, geothermal energy, water resources management, hydrology and waste deposition. OGS is comprised of the THMC-simulator (simply referred to as OGS) and a visualization tool (Data Explorer). OGS is developed by the OpenGeoSys Community.

Current status

It has to be noticed that the current ogs6 version is under very heavy development and vivid discussion, and not even reaching a beta release version, i.e. not all data structure and features are fixed yet. If you would like to have a peek into the current status of the code, we recommend to have a look at Norihiro's draft branch. Which is merely a proposed prototype. However, it should compile out of the box and supports many of the simulation processes in ogs5 already. The plan is to refactor the code and to merge in functionality into the official ogs6-repository feature-by-feature.
