TOUGH2 Beginner Course for Scientists and Engineers
A training course in TOUGH2 will be held at the E.O. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), Berkeley, California, on May 15-17, 2003. This course immediately follows the TOUGH Symposium 2003. TOUGH2 is a family of codes developed to simulate non-isothermal flow and transport in heterogeneous porous and fractured media. TOUGH2 is currently being used by about 300 organizations in 33 countries, and is employed in a wide variety of applications that include
- Geothermal Energy
- Subsurface Environmental Studies
- Oil and Gas Production
- Nuclear Waste
- Subsurface Hydrology
- Reactive Geochemistry
- Coalbed Methane Production
Focus
and Material to be Covered
While the underlying physics and mathematics will be thoroughly covered,
the course focus will be the application of TOUGH2 (with some of its most
commonly used modules) in the solution of problems. It is expected that,
upon course completion, the trainee will be prepared to apply TOUGH2 to
the solution of scientific and/or engineering problems.
The material to be covered includes:
- Underlying physics, numerical approach, and mathematical implementations in TOUGH2
- Discussion, analysis, and preparation of input data files for TOUGH2
- Study and analysis of problems with the EOS1 module: flow of single component (water) in a single phase (liquid or vapor) or in a two-phase system (water and vapor in equilibrium), isothermal and non-isothermal
- Study and analysis of problems with the EOS3 module: flow of two components (water and air) in a single phase (liquid or gas) or in a two-phase system (water and gas), isothermal and non-isothermal
- Study and analysis of problems with the T2VOC module: flow and transport of water, air and a volatile organic phase (oil) – multi-component, multi-phase flow and transport, isothermal and non-isothermal
- General discussion of the TOUGH2 modules (available for general distribution) and their applications
- Discussions of changes in the source code to accommodate specific user needs
- Study of a limited number of real-life problems of interest to the course attendees (involving the EOS1, EOS3, T2VOC modules, or other modules)
Course Requirements
The TOUGH2 family of codes is a powerful tool that provides maximum flexibility and versatility in its application by allowing the user complete control over inputs and simulation approach. It is highly desirable that prospective TOUGH2 users meet some minimum requirements of experience and knowledge. These are:
- Knowledge of the basic tenets of numerical analysis in the solution of partial differential equations
- Knowledge of the physics of fluid and heat flow and transport in porous and fractured media
- Substantial knowledge of and experience in computers and programming (preferably FORTRAN)
Material
to be Handed Out
The course attendees will be provided with all the necessary course material,
including a TOUGH2 User’s Manual. A copy of the executable file
of TOUGH2 (with some of its most important modules) will be pre-installed
on the computers to be used for the training. Note that the cost of acquiring
the software is not included in the training cost. TOUGH2 is not sold
by the Berkeley Lab, but can be acquired directly from the Energy Science
and Technology Software Center, P.O. Box 1020, 175 Oak Ridge Turnpike,
Oak Ridge, TN 37831-1020, Tel.:(865) 576-2606, E-mail: ESTSC@adonis.osti.gov.
Cost
The cost of the course is US$1500.00 (US$750.00 for students).Enrollment
is limited. Please sign up to secure your place in the course.
