About the regular and radial mesh
Hi everyone,
I was using TOUGHREACT V1.2 ECO2N to run a simple injection simulation,and When I set up multiple injection points(such as 5 points and each is spaced 20m apart, that is, one or two meshes apart inside my model),i found that:
(1)when I use the regular mesh, Even when using a very small injection rate(such as 1e-3 kg/s), he reports an error, which can be mitigated a bit by spacing out the injection points a bit or delete some inj points to alleviate the non-convergence, but often counts a few days or less than a year before reporting the error;
(2)when I use radial mesh,everything seems to work just fine,I can set the injection rate up to few hundred! (Although sometimes it doesn't stop even after a few years.)
So I'd like to ask why these two grids cause this difference? Hopefully someone can give me a rationale!

Hi,
Can you tell us what the error is? Is it in the flow or the chemistry? I don't quite see how this would be a grid issue.
regards,

Quick questions:
Is the volume of the Cartesian injection element about the same as that of the radial well element?
Are the radial interface areas between the injection elements and the reservoir about the same?
Are the radial distances to the outer boundary about the same?
Are the boundary conditions at the outer boundaries the same?
