Abstract
A method, apparatus, and program product cluster a plurality of cells of an input unstructured volumetric grid representative of a subsurface volume into a plurality of clusters, simplify a boundary of each cluster and generate an output unstructured volumetric grid representing at least a portion of the input unstructured volumetric grid by generating in the output unstructured volumetric grid a respective cell for each of the plurality of clusters. The resulting output grid may be used to facilitate the generation of visualizations and/or numerical simulations.
