    摘要: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for coupling two or more simulators to simulate a coupled multi-physics model of a subsurface formation are provided. A coupling framework (130) loads one or more simulators (135) as shared libraries into a common process (120) and a common memory space (125) with a first simulator (115) to create the coupled multi-physics model of the subsurface formation. During simulation, the coupling framework controls data exchange between the first simulator and the other simulator(s) through the common memory space and controls execution of the first simulator and the other simulator(s) responsive to the common process. The coupling framework can receive feedback from the other simulator(s) and alter execution of the first simulator. The coupling framework can map data between the first simulator and the other simulator(s) such as in a globally conservative (e.g., mass, energy, etc.) manner.
