Re: About the design of boundary
For the no flow boundary no actions are required. For che constant P boundary you should assign as initial condition the required P and assign a numerically infinte volume to the grid element.…

Re: About the SEED with porosity
@Luoluo If you are using TOUGH2 only the porosity can be changed element by element through the INCON block. You have also posted a similar question under TOUGHREACT.…

Re: Integrated CO2 injection modeling for studying flow distribution aspects in well (&well formation?) in CO2 injection wells in Tough2-ECO2M
Vasilii, you can model H2O-CO2-NaCl fluid mixtures with CO2 phase changes with TOUGH3-ECO2M. For coupled modeling of wellbore and reservoir flow you need T2Well-ECO2M,…

Re: T2Well/ECO2N mesh software recommendation
My post comes a bit late, but you may consider to have a look at VORO2MESH developed at the DICAM Dept., Un. of Bologna, Italy. The code was used to build un unstructured grid for sedimentary layered…

Re: How many VOCs can be included in a TMVOC simulation?
XVOCw is the total mass fraction of VOCs in the aqueous phase (TMVOC, user's guide, pag. 57). X(aq) is the mole fraction of the VOC in the aqueous phase.…

Re: Assistance Needed with Methane Volume Quantification in EOS7C Model
Jordon, I'm not a specialist in EOS7CA, but: - Sat_G should be the gas saturation of the gas phase, which includes methane, air and water vapor. - the concentration of methane in both gas and aqueous…

Re: The results of Example 2 in the ECO2M manual
Dear Kohei, a residual water saturation of 0.3 means the aqueous phase cannot be displaced by the injected CO2 below that saturation value, as AQ phase relative permeability is 0.…

Re: Commingled injection well modeling
@liu qi 1) it's not possible to say why you experience a slow convergence. It may be due to many different reasons. You have to look at the output, identify which is the element and the equation…

Re: Problem of wellbore coupling with reservoir in T2WELL
The wellbore node in a wellbore-reservoir connection shall be located at the wellbore - reservoir interface. Then, the flow along the connection is simply computed using Darcy's law from the wellbore…

Re: Flow out of the base of a hillslope
@Jordon Massey Thanks for the clear conceptual model sketch. I have to update PetraSim from V. 2022.3.1003 to the latest 2023 version. So I rebuilt the model using EOS3.…

Re: Flow out of the base of a hillslope
Increasing the volume of a boundary elements by 50 times is not enough if you want constant boundary conditions. You should use something in the order of 1.E+30 or more.…

Re: How can the relationships between permeability (k/k0) and porosity (Φ/Φ0 ) in the fault be changed?
In TOUGH2-ECO2N, as in EWASG, parameters for k/ko vs phi/phio are given under block SELEC and are used for all the rock domains specified under block ROCKS. The same seems to be done in TOUGH3.…

Re: How many VOCs can be included in a TMVOC simulation?

Re: ECO2N / ECO2M: handling of wettability in a dry zone
@Prince Kumar Having XCO2 going to 1 it's OK, as you are injecting CO2 (with a tiny amount of water, which is a good practice to avoid just one component in any of the grid blocks).…
