Dear Martin,

Attached you can find the corresponding files. Additionally, I forgot to tell 
you that I am now using Neumann no-flow boundaries at all boundaries.
Thank you in advance and if you need further data, just let me know.

Best Regards
Sebastian

Dear Sebastian,

could you please also provide the header files of your test case.
It would help to see the boundary conditions, etc.

Best regards,
Martin

Dear Martin,

First of all, thank you again for your time. Now, I built a 1p (liquid) 
cornerpoint model to find the origin of the problem. However, now I am 
observing a pressure change in the complete structure. The attached images 
represent the pressure initially and after the first timestep (100s). The 
initialization is done using the hydrostatic pressure (simpleH2O):

values[0] = globalPos[2] * 1000 * gravity()[2];

The petrophysical properties are defined as homogeneous (k=1mD, phi = 0.2). The 
structure's thickness is approximately 190m which should induce a pressure 
difference of ca. 19 bar along with the structure. After the first time step, 
the pressure difference increases to 66bar, which I do not understand. Do you 
have any ideas about what is causing this problem?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Sebastian

Dear Sebastian,

I just checked the tpfa darcylaw:
https://git.iws.uni-stuttgart.de/dumux-repositories/dumux/-/blob/master/dumux/flux/cctpfa/darcyslaw.hh
and it seems that you can't use my previous suggestion and simply use absolute 
values in the functions of
https://git.iws.uni-stuttgart.de/dumux-repositories/dumux/-/blob/master/dumux/discretization/cellcentered/tpfa/computetransmissibility.hh
because there in the darcylaw we calculate the transbissibility t_j related to 
the neighboring element as:
-1.0*computeTpfaTransmissibility(....)

Did you try to change 
https://git.iws.uni-stuttgart.de/dumux-repositories/dumux/-/blob/master/dumux/flux/cctpfa/darcyslaw.hh
such that all transmissibilities for the flux calculation are positive.

Maybe you could also start setting up a 1p problem and try if it works there.

Best regards,
Martin

Dear Martin,

thank you for the fast response. I followed your recommendations and changed 
the cell center location based on the arithmetic mean (HACK_CELL_CENTROIDS). 
Here, I am still facing negative values for the grid block transmissibilities 
(ti).
Additionally, I use the absolute value for the transmissibilities leading to 
positive values. However, the pressure drop/increase in some cells is still 
observable.

Do you have other ideas, which could cause this behavior? Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Sebastian

Dear Sebastian,

for CP-grids it might happen that the centroid is located out of the cell such 
that the currently implemented
transmissibility calculation yields negative values.

Did you check if all the transmissibility calculated with the functions in the 
following header
https://git.iws.uni-stuttgart.de/dumux-repositories/dumux/-/blob/master/dumux/discretization/cellcentered/tpfa/computetransmissibility.hh
are positive?

I guess you will observe negative values. There are two solutions to overcome 
this
1. Try to use another cell center instead of the centroid.
2. Try to use the absolute value of the transmissibility (corresponds to 
switching the normal vector of the corresponding face)

I hope this solves your problem.

Best regards,
Martin

Hello everyone,

I am facing a problem during the simulation of an underground gas storage 
scenario. The used grid is a cornerpoint-grid with a heterogeneous distribution 
of permeability and porosity. Additionally, the structure contains a fault 
connecting a lower part of the formation. The used fluid model is 2pnc 
(h2on2o2), and the initialization is based on the example 2p_cornerpoint 
(hydrostatic pressure and pores fully water-saturated). At the top and bottom 
of the structure, Neumann (no-flow) boundaries are defined (Dirichlet at the 
sides with initial). In the present status, the molecular diffusion is 
deactivated, and additionally, the centroid cell center location is used.

After the initialization (looks all right), the pressure in some cells of the 
lower part increases while neighboring grid blocks show a lower pressure. 
Attached you can find some images showing the problem (Image 1 and 3: t=0; 
Image 2 and 4: t =6000s (timestep 8) and the problem file.  Other (more 
conforming) cornerpoint-grids do not show this behavior.
Overall, I would like to know if somebody else observed a similar situation and 
could help me with the problem.
I appreciate any help you can provide, and please let me know if you need 
further information.

Best Regards,
Sebastian
