Dear Dumux community, 

With my colleagues, we are currently trying to reproduce the work of Martin 
Schneider published in "Monotone nonlinear finite-volume method for 
nonisothermal two-phase two-component flow in porous media" (2016), and in 
particular the 2D benchmark case ( CO2 injection into layered aquifer) of 
section 3.3.1. In this work, averaged MPFA, TPFA, NLTPFA and Box schemes are 
compared. 

Consequently, we have set up a CO2 model, with the use of a dgf msh (read with 
the dune-alugrid module). For the moment, we are mainly focusing on the MPFA 
scheme, which is natively provided in the Dumux implementation. 

Nevertheless, as we want more accuracy, we have refined the mesh. Therefore, in 
order to reduce the CPU time, we would like to perform parallel computations on 
this simulation. 

We obtain the following error: 

what(): Dune::InvalidStateException 
[findGhostVertices:/home/npillar1/dumux/dumux/dumux/dumux/discretization/cellcentered/mpfa/helper.hh:558]:
 Mpfa methods in parallel do not work with ghost cells. Use overlap cells 
instead. 

I did some research on previous threads on the mailing list and it seems that 
we should set Grid.Overlap = 1 for cell-centred methods, according to Bernd 
Flemisch's answer in [

This command does not seem to affect the code because we are using the Alugrid 
module. 

Has anyone tried using MPFA + Alugrid + parallel computations in Dumux? 

Thanks in advance 

Best regards, 

Nicolas Pillardou
