Re: How to output all primary and secondary variables using the OUTPU data block in TOUGH3?
Dear Refaat, It looks like you have some tabs in your input file. In general, tabs give TOUGH3 trouble and should be removed. The variable names should begin in column 1.…

Re: Steady-state simulation of a low-type geothermal system
Dear Hakim, I might be confused, but it looks like you are using the two-waters option for EOS1, since your MULTI block is 2 3 2 6. According to the User's Guide,…

Re: Steady-state simulation of a low-type geothermal system
Dear Hakim, The file you attached T1.dat is the correct format for a TOUGH input file. However, since I haven't used Petrasim for a really long time, I cannot be sure this is the input file that…

Re: Steady-state simulation of a low-type geothermal system
Dear Hakim, I looked at your Excel file, and as far as I can tell, it all looks reasonable. However, to have a chance of helping you, I need to look at the actual TOUGH input file.…

Re: Issue with using EXT for extracting data from TOUGH2 MESH and OUTPUT files
Hmm, I am not sure Ext will work for such a big mesh. If anyone else has experience with this, please chime in. The compilation error messages look to me like your computer memory is not big enough…

Re: Issue with using EXT for extracting data from TOUGH2 MESH and OUTPUT files
I can't tell from the error message what is wrong. Could you post your MESH and OUTPUT files? If they are too big, try creating a sample problem with a smaller MESH and output at just one time in…

Re: How to print K(LIQ) and K(GAS)
You could also try setting KDATA=3 (column 4 in the first line of the PARAM block). I can't remember about TOUGH2-ECO2N for sure, but for some TOUGH versions this adds an extra section at each of…

Re: Unexpected gas phase evolving
During a simulation with no gas phase initially present, if pressure drops somewhere a gas phase may form. The process could be water boiling, or a dissolved species coming out of solution.…

Re: No molecular diffusion and hydrodynamic dispersion in T2VOC
I am not really an expert in T2VOC, so others may want to answer also, but if you want molecular diffusion in all phases, you should use TMVOC instead of T2VOC.…

Re: Set An Initial Temperature Greater Than 100 In ECO2N Module
Dear Henry, There are other limitations in ECO2N for T>103.04 C besides just CO2TAB. If you want T=120 C, you need to use ECO2N V2. Check to see if your current version of TOUGH has ECO2N V2.…
