Re: iTOUGH2 work with EOS7C
Dear Haiyan, If you have a standard version of iTOUGH2, you can certainly run an EOS7C model. You don't need the source code to recompile it, as all arrays are dynamically allocated.…

Re: Is there a way to specify the component being produced from a source well?
Yannick, In TOUGH2 terminology, "gas+water" is inconsistent, as gas is a phase and water is a component. Is your gas phase steam=water vapor, or, for example, CO2 or CH4?…

Re: How should I compile TMVOC and use executable to run a simulation in the Windows 7 operating system?
@Flybear It is not clear to me whether you want to compile TOUGH2 or TOUGH3 (I'm not aware of a "flowpar" file, either). Unfortunately, I do not have ready access to the Intel compiler nor TOUGH3.…

Re: Is there a way to specify the component being produced from a source well?
Yannik, Kenny's reply assumes you want to just know (i.e., print out) the amount of a component that is produced - Kenny's answer for that is correct. However,…

Re: At KCYC=1, EXCEED GENERATION TIME TABLE AT ELEMENT #####
Erik, Your simulation starts at time 0.0, but your first time-dependent generation rate is provided later, at time 1.0. You have to provide tabular entries for the entire simulation period (also at…

Re: Infinite Acting Aquifer
Erik, You could use program AddBound, which does essentially what Mikey proposes. Check it out at https://www.finsterle-geoconsulting.com/download The usage of AddBound may not be totally intuitive.…

Re: Calibrate rock properties of each element using PEST ?
Hi Thomas, Being a geophysicist and being proficient in TOUGH forward modeling is a great combination - just add the "i" in front of it, and you're off to the races! Yes,…

Re: Calibrate rock properties of each element using PEST ?
Hi Thomas, I don't know the details of what it is you want to do, but here are some thoughts: (1) You could use iTOUGH2 or iTOUGH2-PEST or TOUGH2 + PEST to make each permeability modifier assigned…

Re: Best Fortran Compiler and OS for iTOUGH2
Hi Zachary, You can essentially use any FORTRAN compiler to build iTOUGH2. On PCs, most people seem to use the Intel Fortran Compiler with Visual Studio.…

Re: Values <1.0E-100 included in SAVE file with improper formatting.
Hi Mikey, Yes, I've seen it. It's standard FORTRAN (maybe compiler- or compiler-option dependent). Therefore, it is not really an issue, i.e., FOTRAN writes it out in this format and correctly reads…

Re: Temperature limits of various ECO2N versions
Hi Godarzi, The officially released version of iTOUGH2 is V7.1. The EOS2N module integrated in iTOUGH2 goes to 110C. Unfortunately, the high temperature version ECO2N_V2, available in TOUGH3,…

Re: Error running PEST protocol with model generated by Fortran executable

Re: Run the iTOUGH2 with command line
Thanks, Andri, for helping Mara. All your answers are (of course) spot on. And yes, I think you can simply use mdeplinux.f instead of mdeppc.f when compiling with ifort. Stefan
