Parameter Registry

This registry maps the current hard-coded parameters to a unified config structure. It is intentionally field-oriented so the future GUI can be built against a stable schema.

Conventions

• Config Path: target field in the unified config
• Source Variable: current variable name in code
• Source File: current MATLAB file where the parameter is defined
• Cases: which example folders currently use the field
• Editable: whether the GUI should expose the field
• Notes: behavior, enum meaning, or shape

Meta

Config Path	Source Variable	Source File	Cases	Editable	Notes
meta.case_name	none	template-level	all	yes	Display name
meta.case_id	none	template-level	all	yes	Stable preset ID
meta.description	none	template-level	all	yes	Free text
meta.source_case_folder	folder name	template-level	all	no	Traceability
meta.created_from_template	none	template-level	all	no	Preset source
meta.version	none	config system	all	no	Schema version

Model

Config Path	Source Variable	Source File	Cases	Editable	Notes
model.grid_model	grid_model	main1.m	1-7	yes	1 SP, 2 DP
model.flow_model	flow_model	main1.m	1-7	yes	1 gas-water, 2 oil-water, 3 multi-component

Current GUI/runtime simplification:

• modelflag has been removed from the editable config schema.
• Runtime always uses modelflag = 1.

Grid Geometry

Current GUI/runtime simplification:

• fractureLines, fractureHeights, and flowBarrierFlags have been removed from the editable schema.

• Cases 5 and 7 use different constant matrix properties than cases 2, 4, and 6.

Known Inconsistencies To Normalize

• rock_density and density_rock are both used in SP discretization files.
• Some fields are editable expressions in one case and constant arrays in another, especially kx, ky, kz, and pori.
• boundary exists in case 1 but not in the other SP examples.
• DP mode introduces extra fields absent from SP mode.

These inconsistencies are exactly why the GUI must be built on a normalized config instead of the raw scripts.
