Dear All,
 
I have a couple of general questions regarding pressure in 1p model. 
 
If the simulation is driven by a pressure drop, can the pressure be bigger than 
the pressure inlet?
 
Moreover, can pressure go negative?
 
I have some interesting results that I would like to share.
 
Please find attached a spead sheet with results from four simulations.
 
For each simulation, I have a 50x50x50 box, with permeability heterogeneities 
on a cell-by-cell basis. For simplicity, I have some cells defined with one 
perm, and all other cells defined with another perm.
 
The flow is driven by a pressure gradient (pin=130000, pout=100000) at the two 
boundaries in X direction.
 
I got four simulations by varying the difference between the two perms.
 
At the end of each simulation, I compute average pressure on the YZ planes, 
along X axis, which gives me one average pressure distribution curve.
 
When the perm difference is 1 order of magnitude, the average pressure drops 
linearly.
 
When the perm diference is 2 or 3 order of magnitude, we can see average 
pressure increase dramatically.
 
Does this make any sense to some of you?
 
Best,
-Shawn
