3.2.1 TOUGH2

TOUGH2 is a general-purpose numerical simulator for multi-phase, multi-component fluid and heat flow in porous and fractured media. It uses a multi-phase extension of Darcy's law that includes relative permeability and capillary-pressure effects and incorporates accurate phase-partitioning and thermo-physical properties of all fluid phases and components. TOUGH2 is capable of dealing with two-phase (liquid, gas), three-component (water, salt, CO2) systems in pressure/temperature regimes above the critical point of CO2.
