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: Graceful ways for stuck Monte Carlo instances to fail and resample
Hi Mikey, Depending on the iTOUGH2 version you have, you can indeed perform CPR on a failed forward run within Monte Carlo simulations (or most other application modes) by humming Bee Gees "Staying…

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: Print out of permeability reduction
Godarzi, I checked again using iTOUGH2 V7.1, which is the version released by LBNL. If you have that version, the permeability reduction factor is printed to the TOUGH2 output file,…

Re: Print out of permeability reduction
Hi Godarzi, Now that we have established that you're using iTOUGH2 V7.1, the answer becomes straightforward. Here are 3 ways to get a time series of the permeability reduction factor using iTOUGH2.…

Re: Injection of different components with different densities (Soltrol into Glycerol-water)
Abdellah, ECO2N may be the natural option, as it has the thermophysical properties of brine and supercritical CO2 built in. However, your surrogate fluids under ambient conditions may not allow to…

Re: Error running PEST protocol with model generated by Fortran executable
Hi Mikey, It seems it does not like the name "viscosity" as the executable name (because it is the same name as the directory?). It copies it, but has no executable permission.…

Re: Format of INCON and SAVE file
Hi, USERX(1), USERX(2), and USERX(3) hold either element-by-element permeabilities or permeability modifiers related to ISOT=1, 2, and 3, respectively. If the value is negative e.g., USERX(1)=-2.…

Re: Cross flow between stacked layers
Just to follow up on Chris's last comment: In iTOUGH2, you can simply specify two material names (or more) to get the total flow across the interface defined by these two materials (i.e.…

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

Re: representing an oven using extra cell
@Alireza The model is 2D radial, i.e., it is not a 2D "slice". Element volumes increase with the radius squared. In radial direction, the mesh consists of a series of doughnuts with increasing size,…
