Time-Dependent Material Properties

Hello,

Is there a way to implement time-dependent material properties (block ROCKS) in TOUGH3? 

I am interested in assigning time varying permeabilities (prescribed as a function of time).

Thanks,

Nelson

    I cannot remember if TIMBC only works for primary variables or if you can change properties as well. Check it out in the manual.

       Hi Yingqi, 

      I checked the manual and my understanding is that it is only applicable for time-dependent Dirichlet boundary conditions.

      Nelson Molina Giraldo Then you will have to use the old trick, copy SAVE to INCON, modify input and re-start a run, you probably should write a script file to do it if the material need to be modified frequently.

      Alternatively, if you have iTOUGH2, check out the "Enhancement" manual to see how to do it.
