Thermal Properties (HYDT-KE)

The Thermal Properties Card allows the user to specify thermal conductivity models and parameters and grain specific heat as an intrinsic property of the rock/soil. Every rock/soil type defined on the Rock/Soil Zonation Card must be referenced. With the IJK Indexing option, node dependent parameters are entered via external files and node independent parameters are entered directly on the card. This card is required only for simulations involving the solution of the energy conservation equation. Declaration of the thermal conductivity depends on the operational mode and function option. The current version of STOMP-HYDT-KE provides three thermal conductivity model options: 1) parallel function, 2) Somerton function and 3) hydrate composite model.
