Re: Changing inner grid boundary condition with time

Short clarification: TIMBC can be used if you know what the temperature (or pressure or saturation or mass fraction) is during your shut-in phase, and you want to prescribe it (i.e.…

Hi Alireza, Yes, I should have alerted you to MOP(12) - but it seems you know your way around TOUGH2! I would attach a single Dirichlet element to one model element where the vent is.…

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,…
