Single-Phase Flow GeoApps
When Single-Phase Flow GeoApps is selected in the FlowDict section, representative flow simulation examples can be chosen from the pull-down menu. Currently, two GeoApps are available:
When GeoApps are run, GeoDict macros corresponding to the simulations are called and executed. These macros are available in the FlowDict folder in the GeoDict installation folder. They can be opened with a text editor, to observe their syntax and the steps involved in the simulation and can also be edited.
Click Edit to open a dialog with the parameters defining these permeability tests. The settings for these parameters may be changed at will.
To run a GeoApp, make sure a structure is loaded. After modifications are done, clicking Run executes the corresponding macro.
A result file (*.gdr) and a folder with the same name, containing the result files, are automatically saved inside the project folder. The *.gdr file can be opened in GeoDict through File → Open Results (*.gdr) in the menu bar.
After opening the *.gdr file, you can directly access all parameters used for the simulation by clicking the Load Input Parameters button at the bottom, and then selecting the corresponding solver (Navier-Stokes(-Brinkman) or Forchheimer Approximation) in the FlowDict section pull-down menu and clicking the Solver Options’ Edit button. In this way, all parameter values used for the simulation are loaded into the corresponding Solver Options dialog and can be examined in detail.
By clicking the Open Macro / Script File button, the macro file containing all steps for the predefined simulations can be accessed.
