Re: Error Message
On first glance at your input file, I think you need a blank line at the end of your COFT and FOFT blocks. A good general tip is to look at your output file and see how far the code got in processing…

Re: Coupled reservoir-wellbore model initialization (using T2Well)
@Mo Saeed Sorry, but I do not know of any step-by-step guidelines for using T2Well. The User's Guide is the best place to start. Many TOUGH-related topics other than T2Well are also covered in the…

Re: GENER : COM1 vs MASS type ---->Pumping water from element in a 2phase flow problem
For pumping from a certain element, it is better to use MASS with a rate <0. Here is what the TOUGH2 Users Guide says about controlling the phase that you pump out:…

Re: Doubts about the integrated finite difference method (IFDM)
Hello Luis, The IFDM is a finite volume method. It is described in the TOUGH2 User's manual (Pruess et al., 2012), which may be viewed or downloaded from the TOUGH Manuals web page (https://tough.lbl.…

Re: Coupled reservoir-wellbore model initialization (using T2Well)
@Sunny Dai In flow.inp, there is a typo: the keyword to specify initial temperature for a material is INDOM. TOUGH reads "INCOM" and does not recognize it as a keyword, so skips it.…

Re: Coupled reservoir-wellbore model initialization (using T2Well)
@Sunny Dai When you say temperature gradient disappearance, do you mean that you specify a vertical temperature gradient as an initial condition, and after the code runs for a while,…

Re: van Genuchten - Mualem model
Hi Nick, Sl is liquid saturation (the fraction of the pore space containing liquid phase). Usually "liquid" means aqueous, but not always, it depends on which equation of state (EOS) you are using.…

Re: T2Well (Error message)
@Refaat G Hashish Make sure your actual number of elements is no larger than 22000 and your actual number of connections is no larger than 61300. That is the only requirement on MNEL and MNCON (The…

Re: EOS7C WARNING. H2O MASS FRACTION IN THE GAS WAS LESS THAN ZERO IN 1 GRID BLOCKS
Here are a few things to check: Does your grid resolution change too suddenly? I try to make coarser grid blocks no more than 1.5 times the size of adjacent finer grid blocks.…

Re: An error running the "CO2 leakage along a fault" example in toughio tutorial
Please start by reviewing your INFILE, to make sure it does not contain anything unexpected. If it looks good, you can post it here and I will take a look at it.

Re: EOS7C WARNING. H2O MASS FRACTION IN THE GAS WAS LESS THAN ZERO IN 1 GRID BLOCKS
In the past, I have had better success using EOS7C when I specify a very small amount of all components as initial conditions. I use something like 1e-10 for mass fractions,…

Re: Relative permeability curves in tough2
If none of the existing relative permeability options in TOUGH2 provide Krl and Krg that you like, then you will have to create your own. You could take the Krl function from one IRP option and the…

Re: Gridblocks to represent sink and source
There are a few problems with your GENER file: 1. A blank line means you are all finished reading GENER, so move the one you have now near the top of the file to the end. 2.…

Re: Gridblocks to represent sink and source
I think you want one well to be constant flow rate (an injection well) and the other well to be constant pressure (a production well), is that right? One possibility is to specify one mass source in…
