EOS1 - REDUCE TIME STEP error
Hello,
I am simulating the single-phase radial flow of water to a well during 13 days of pumping test. I am using EOS1 with MULTI (1,2,2.6).
After running the code, in the first iteration I have "PHASE TRANSITION TO TWO-PHASE" and then "REDUCE TIME STEP".

I appreciate if anyone know and can help me to fix this problem.

Sara,
I have not run your input files, but the message simply indicates that the total pressure is lowered (due to pumping) below the saturated vapor pressure, thus inducing boiling. The induced non-linearity is too strong for the Newton-Raphson iteration to yield thermodynamically acceptable primary variables, so a time-step reduction is proposed. This may not be an "error", as you state, but the expected behavior. Does the simulation recover after that (i.e., after time-step reduction)? If it does not recover, make sure your pumping rate is not too high for the given reservoir properties and conditions (i.e., leads to a drawdown that is too strong).

Stefan,
Thanks for the reply.
1) There is no recovery after time-step reduction. I have"PHASE TRANSITION TO TWO-PHASE" and "REDUCE TIME STEP" in the next iterations as well.2) I run the model several times by decreasing and increasing the MASS productions (GX= -0.71 kg/s).
Would you please have a look at let me know your idea?
Here is the results:
=====> a) GX= - 0.1 kg/s

Sara,
I look at your files. I can only repeat what I said in my previous reply: The production rate is (way too) high for the specified initial conditions. Just look at element A1M22 after the first time step is complete; it is at a very low pressure (your system literally "cavitates", creating a strong vacuum on its way to absolute zero!)
Your initial pressure is most likely wrong. You specified 5000 Pa! You probably wanted to specify 5 bar or 50 bar (I don't know what system you try to simulate). You have to go above 10 bars for the pumping to work for a while. Note that as soon as you induce boiling, a production rate of 0.7 kg/s means a huge volume is being extracted, so the pressure drops to zero very fast.
Note, since you have uniform initial conditions, keep the INCON block empty, and specify initial conditions using a single line in block PARAM.4. You may also want to tighten RE1.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Stefan for the help. My problem was solved by changing the pressure.
Best Regards

Hi Sara,
I'm glad it worked. I also appreciate the feedback - should be helpful to those who follow this forum post.
Best,
Stefan
