3. Modeling A#

3.1. Characteristics of modeling A#

The results presented here result from the modeling in plane deformations D_ PLAN_THHD carried out with 2988 elements TRI3.

3.2. Results#

Capillary pressure and saturation profiles are presented on a horizontal (\(y\mathrm{=}\mathrm{450m}\)) and vertical (\(x\mathrm{=}\mathrm{7m}\)) section.

The results are qualitatively consistent with those found in the Alliances literature: we only have isovalues as a reference, so the error tolerance is quite high (\(\text{20\%}\)).
