Re: Questions Regarding Local Refinement and Mesh Size Limitations (number of elements)
Dear Javad, The mesh refinement you would like to use seems not to follow the requirements of IFDM implemented by TOUGH2/3. The code should be modified as described by Garcia and Pruess (2000,…

Re: What is the temperature and pressure range of TMVOC？
TMVOC was developed for the modeling of VOCs migration in the unsaturated zone and in shallow aquifers. For this reason the EOS was not designed for high P and T conditions.…

Re: Help Needed: EOS3 Non-convergence in Compressed Air Injection into Aquifer
@高宏建 About printing of phase transition messages, you may use MOP(5)=3. I suggest to try the effect of different choices by just running short simulations when you have doubts on some input option.…

Re: Help Needed: EOS3 Non-convergence in Compressed Air Injection into Aquifer
Looking at the output, the run stops because the P exceeds the allowable limit of 1000 bar in eleme 41717. This means that probably the assigned injection rate of 20 kg/s is too high for the rock…

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: 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: 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
