Dear Georg,

In fact, we had the same idea and I can confirm that it works (see figure in the enclosed file).

Thanks a lot

Etienne

Hi Etienne,

I think an outflow boundary condition will only work correctly if the phase 
that is leaving the domain is perfectly mixed, i.e. there is only transport 
perpendicular to the outflow boundary face. You might be able to solve your 
problem by appending a kind of pipe to your outflow. This way you are able to 
use the outflow condition at the end of the pipe. I am not 100% sure whether 
this will work.

Best regards
Georg

Betreff: [DuMuX] Outflow boundary conditions

Dear DuMuX users,

With my colleagues we are working on an example of reactive flow in porous 
medium with an outflow boundary condition.

To emphasize our issue, we have considered a simpler problem using the 1p2c 
model where a component X1 is injected in pure water (see the enclosed figures 
geometry.png and permeability.png).

There are two zones of injections named Inflow1 and Inflow2 (where a flux is 
imposed and a dirichlet boundary conditions is imposed for the concentration of 
X1) and an outflow zone. The remaining boundaries are impermeable.

The pictures X1cell.png and X1box.png depict the concentration of the component 
X1 after 125s of injection respectively with the cell centered and box schemes. 
We can see at the outflow the presence of two pikes at the border between the 
outflow and the impermeable zones.

These pikes are unphysical since the maximum value of the concentration should 
be equal to the value of the dirichlet condition (that is 0.3).

We would like to know is somebody ever had and fixed this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards

Etienne
