Abstract
A method for reservoir simulation that includes applying fraction boundary conditions at a surface of a grid representing the subterranean reservoir, finding a rock state, representing initial rock displacements and porosity in the grid, that satisfies a first equation of VNTGφ=VNTGφ=PV, initializing the grid based on the rock state to generate an initialized grid, determining a set of rock displacements based on the initialized grid, and generating a simulation result based on the rock displacements, where an operation in the subterranean reservoir is performed based on the simulation result.
