A symposium on applications and enhancements of the TOUGH numerical simulator will be held at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), May 5—7, 2003. As in prior TOUGH Workshops held at LBNL in 1990, 1994, and 1998, the TOUGH Symposium 2003 will consist of oral and poster presentations. Proceedings papers on CD-ROM will be available at the Symposium. If there is sufficient interest, a TOUGH2 Beginner's Course may be held immediately following the Symposium.
Background
The TOUGH family of codes is a suite of computer programs for the simulation of multiphase fluid and heat flows in porous and fractured media with applications to geothermal reservoir engineering, nuclear waste disposal in geologic formations, vadose zone hydrology, environmental remediation, oil and gas reservoir engineering, and other mass transport and energy transfer problems in complex geologic settings. Many modifications and enhancements have been made to TOUGH, at LBNL and elsewhere, from the time it was first released in 1987 to the present TOUGH2 Version 2.0. TOUGH2 and its various descendants (such as iTOUGH2, T2VOC, TOUGHREACT, and many more) are currently in use in approximately 150 research laboratories, private companies, and universities in 25 countries.
Symposium Purpose
The purpose of the symposium is to bring together users of the TOUGH family of codes for an open exchange on applications and recent code enhancements. Papers are solicited in all areas of TOUGH applications, such as:
- Vadose zone hydrology
- Fate and transport of volatile organic compounds
- Strongly coupled variable-density flow
- Performance assessment of nuclear waste repositories
- Carbon sequestration and hydrocarbon recovery
- Geothermal reservoir studies
- Applications to laboratory and field experiments
- Automatic model calibration and test design
- Code verification and validation
- Enhanced process capabilities and user features
- Numerical schemes and parallel computing
