FORCH Invokes flow calculation according to the Forchheimer equation; introduces information on non-Darcy flow coefficient model and weighting scheme.
Record FORCH.1
Free format for 7 parameters, or FORMAT (2I5, 6E10.4)
IFORCH, MFORCH, (FORCH(I), I=1,6)
IFORCH Integer parameter to choose type of non-Darcy flow coefficient model (see Table x, in section). If a negative number is given, the Forchheimer equation is applied to gas flow only; liquid flow is governed by Darcy’s law.
MFORCH Determines interface weighting scheme for non-Darcy flow coefficient β :
MFORCH = 0: Upstream weighting (recommended)
MFORCH = 1: Upstream weighting with WUP (see record PARAM.3)
MFORCH = 2: Harmonic weighting
MFORCH = 3: Geometric average
MFORCH = 4: Arithmetic average
FORCH(I) I = 1, …, 6; user-specified parameters for non-Darcy flow coefficient model (see ; only needed for models IFORCH = 1 and 14).
Record FORCH.2
Free format or FORMAT (8A10)
ND_Rocks1, ND_Rocks2, ......
ND_Rocks Input a list of rocks in which the flow will be treated as non-Darcy flow. These rocks must be defined in the data section. If no rock is specified in this record, the whole flow system will be treated as non-Darcy flow.
Used in: All EOS modules
Example:
FORCH
2, 0 //use the second model for the coefficient calculation; use upstream weighting.
SAND1, SAND2 //flow in rock SAND1 and SAND2 is treated as non-Darcy flow.
