TOUGHREACT Flow Monitoring

Hello, I am a new user of TOUGHREACT and am currently working on a simple problem of injecting CO2 into an aquifer. Is there a way to track the flow of fluids and heat between boundaries,…

Reactive transport is off but still looking for solute.inp

I am trying to run a 2D model using TOUGHREACT v4.13. I have the reactive transport off but it still looks for the solute.inp when I run it. Any suggestions how to fix it?…

Nucleation reactive surface area

Hi all, I'm running some models where calcite is not initially present but precipitates kinetically during the simulation. There is an option to have initial reactive surface area be very large at…

Running MINC model with TOUGHREACT (or iTOUGH2)

Hello, I am trying to run MINC model which includes elements' name in 8 characters with TOUGHREACT, but it can't run successfully. Is there any method that I can follow to run TOUGHREACT with MINC…

TOUGHREACT/EOS5 serpentinization

Hello All, Is TOUGHREACT / EOS5 able to simulate the process of serpentization that can lead to the production of natural hydrogen? I know that EOS5 is intended for transporting hydrogen in the…

Changing the boundary water chemistry for a restart run (I think inchem is not read)

I'm trying to model a feedzone and ran the first 23 yrs (upto 7.569e8) and then will restart to run for another 2 yrs (upto 8.1994e8) using a different chemistry for the boundary water (injection).…

Thermodynamic Database for CO₂ Storage in Icelandic Basalts

Hello everyone, I've been running sample problem 5 on CO₂ storage in sandstone using TOUGHREACT V3.32. I'm interested in running this problem considering a basaltic formation, however,…

Pressure Drop When Allowing Dissolution/Precipitation of Minerals

Hello everyone, After I run a pressure initialization on the reservoir (REACT(1) = 2), I see that the gridblocks have pressures within the vicinity of that specific in PARAM.…

Simulation of the non-isothermal analysis of co2 injection

Hi, everyone i am now tyring to simulate the co2 injection under the non-isothermal situation byTOUGHREACT V1.2 ECO2N). For simplicity, i cosed the reactive transport in this simulation and focus on…

How to do the post-processing for the TOUGHREACT output file?

Hi guys! I wonder how to do post process of the .dat file. I want to see the mesh so i put the file into Tecplot, but i only see this image below. Hope you give me some methods to solve that.…

How to make a "no flux" grid?

Hello everyone! Now i have a injection well, i consider it as a kind of ROCK. ( I do not know whether this set is correct or i just do not need set the ROCK of the well.…

About the design of boundary

Hi, everyone, I'm working on setting the boundary conditions for no flow and constant pressure in a model using TOUGHREACT v1.2 ECO2N. I have two questions: For the no flow boundary condition,…

How to perform simulations of water-rock interactions to obtain near-equilibrium water chemistry.

Hello everyone, I am currently studying TOUGHREACT and using Petrasim for preprocessing and postprocessing, with the aim of researching CO2 geological storage issues.…

Output of permeability and initial value of porosity and permeability

Hi,everyone i am using TOUGHREACT v1.2/ECO2N, and i have some issues (1) i find that the file 'solid.out" only shows one permeability, what orientation it is ?…

Problems encountered during the equilibrium stage of groundwater，HELP!

Why do files such as chdump.out and solute.out not appear after clicking execute during the Chemical equilibrium of groundwater？

Is this normal?

My GENER file changes to chinese characters during a simulation. What could cause this?

Sourcing injection fluid in ToughReact

A clarification is needed regarding ToughReact when run with ECO2N: Think of a situation where a carbonated brine is defined in “chemical.inp” file for injection purpose.…

HELP!!! Regarding the issue of being unable to simulate flow given multiple rock types~THX!

I am currently using TOUGHREACT V3 software and ECO2N module for flow simulation. When all the first domain is given in ELEME, the simulation is successful;…

initialization of water composition

Hi， Recently, I tried to use toughreact (EOS1) to simulate fluid-rock interaction including dissolution and precipitation. But it always reminded me “convergence problem in initialization of water…

Help needed- Wellbore simulation

Hello Everyone, I am writing to seek help with a flow problem. I have discretized a domain containing 26 layers. I want to inject CO2 into the lower part of these layers (say last 11 layers),…

Toughreact courses or workshops

Hello everyone, I'm new to using toughreact and would like to learn a bit more and improve. Does anyone know if there will be any courses or workshops this year or next? Thanks

How to resolve the flow non-convergence in eco2n module?

Hello, I'm trying to simulate CO2 geological storage in aquifer composed of andesite rocks at high temperature condition, 200 degC. The CO2 was injected for 10 years and run a 1000year simulation.…

An issue (experience) with very large mesh

Hi all Just to share my experience. I have a very large mesh (6E5 grid cells). Surprisingly the name of some elements start with "END" (like END 1, .. END10 etc).…
