v7.33.105 WTNA105 — Gas injection into a quasisaturated clay-type material described by Van-Genuchten/Mualem laws

Summary:

This test represents the simulation of the injection of gas into a geological environment. It is a purely hydraulic calculation. The geometry shown corresponds to a radial section around a storage package. The environment, consisting of a functional void, a damaged zone and a Callovo-Oxfordian (clay) geological barrier, is initially almost saturated. The environment is described by a model by Mualem Van-Genuchten. This test also allows us to test the hydraulic law called by HYDR_VGM.
