Grid refinement#

The grid refinement is achieved by adding vertical pillars and horizontal lines in the grid from the input model. The refinement can be defined globally in any direction (i, j, or k), as well as localized in defined grid indices. Properties such as porosity, permeabilities, and region numbers are set to the same value in the corresponding finner cells inside the unrefined cell. Model properties defined by i,j,k locations such as wells, faults, and boundary conditions are mapped to the new range of refined indices (i.e., adding additional entries to the generated deck).
