H2OLAB: software platform for numerical models in hydrogeology

• The software platform H2OLAB is devoted to stochastic simulations of groundwater flow and contaminant transport in highly heterogeneous porous and fractured geological media.
• H2OLab is a workpackage of the project MICAS funded by ANR-CIS.
• H2OLab contains software, a database of simulation results and a web portal to the database.
• H2OLAB is an essential tool for the dissemination of scientific results. Software is currently privately owned, but the objective is to build public distributions.

Software policy

• Modularity and genericity are fundamental for software of this size. These requirements are satisfied by a rigorous design inspired from UML techniques and by an object-oriented approach.
• H2OLab is completely written in C++. Parallelism is based on MPI. Software uses open source numerical libraries.
• The platform can run on both Windows and Linux systems. Target computers are powerful workstations, clusters or supercomputers.
