Description	TOUGH2-MP is a parallel version of the TOUGH2 code, which is a general-purpose numerical simulation program for multi-phase fluid and heat flow in porous and fractured media with applications in geothermal reservoir engineering, nuclear waste disposal, environmental assessment and remediation, unsaturated zone hydrology, water resources and geologic storage of CO2 (carbon sequestration). It is intended for large-scale and high performance simulations running on distributed-memory or shared-memory parallel computers, including supercomputers, Linux clusters, workstations and multi-core PCs. The parallel code has been applied to solve field scale problems and high resolution simulations with multi-million gridblocks. Since the parallel code was developed based on an existing mature code, it inherits not only simulation functions from the original code, but also all other features, including input/output format, error handling, and improvements for code stability. The domain decomposition approach and parallel computations enhance model simulation capacity in terms of problem size and complexity. Multi-million gridblock problems can be run on a typical Linux with several tens of processors without any difficulty.
