Re: Cauchy/Type III Boundary Condition
Amy, Try to represent the actual geometrical and physical conditions that lead to the Cauchy boundary. Depending on your application, you may want to add a thin extra element between the model…

Re: MINC
Madjid, (1) In MINC, you have a "fracture" continuum and a "matrix" continuum; you may subdivide the matrix continuum into multiple elements. Whether or not you want to further subdivide the matrix…

Re: Capillary Pressure Definition
Quentin, Capillary pressure is defined negative, i.e., it is the pressure in the wetting phase minus the pressure in the non-wetting phase, i.e., in Pc_ij,…

Re: heterogeneity
Evyatar, The permeability modifier PMX in block ELEME allows you to generate heterogeneous permeability (and air-entry pressure) fields. The anisotropy ratio given by PER(1)/PER(3) in block ROCKS is…

Re: Atmospheric Boundary Conditions
Anthony, I can only confirm what Eric explained to you regarding ion accumulation due to evaporation. Check the parameters that affect vapor diffusion (porosity, tortuosity, diffusion coefficients,…

Re: compile using gfortran
Dear Yamamoto-san, I'm glad the issue was resolved. The size of the executable depends on compiler used, compiler options, and array dimensions. Regards, Stefan

Re: compile using gfortran

Re: How can I stop water movement in TMVOC?
Madjid, I looked at your output file and don't see any water fluxes. Please check again. Also, you set RP(1)=0.3, which is exactly the value of liquid saturation, not greater than the value,…

Re: How can I stop water movement in TMVOC?

Re: Initial condition setting with MINC
Wendy, Yes. For each element, if a non-zero value is given in INCON, that value will be taken; otherwise, the porosity as specified in the ROCKS block is used.…

Re: Initial condition setting with MINC

Re: Fracture porosity when using MINC in Tough2
The only guideline I can give is to consider that local thermodynamic equilibrium is assumed within the fracture and matrix continuum. Stefan

Re: Fracture porosity when using MINC in Tough2
Wendy, (1) Fracture volume fraction is the volume assigned to the fracture continuum divided by the total volume; it determines the element volumes. (2) Fracture porosity is the fracture pore volume…

Re: compile using gfortran
Dear Yamamoto, You can essentially put in any suitable subroutine that returns the CPU time (or throw it all out, as it is not essential). But here's my real question:…

Re: MINC fracture spacing effect
Jing, Please check again in file MINC (not file MESH). If you have a volume fraction of, for example, 0.01, and fracture spacing is 1 m, then you have a single fracture of aperture 1 cm crossing a 1…

Re: MINC to simulate dual-porosity reservoir, with some fractures are open, some are closed.
Julie, (1) Create the MINC mesh using a primary mesh (either provided in the input file or as external file MESH) and the MESHM block you showed. (2) Edit the resulting MINC file as needed.…
