pydfnworks: Well Package

DFN Class functions used for well package

dfnWorks - Well Package

cleanup_wells(self, wells)[source]

Moves working files created while making wells into well_data directory

Parameters

  • self (object) – DFN Class

  • well –

    dictionary of information about the well. Contains the following:

    well[“name”]string

    name of the well

    well[“filename”]string
    filename of the well coordinates. “well_coords.dat” for example.

    Format is : x0 y0 z0 x1 y1 z1 … xn yn zn

    well[“r”]float

    radius of the well

Return type

None

Notes

Wells can be a list of well dictionaries

combine_well_boundary_zones(self, wells)[source]

Processes zone files for particle tracking. All zone files are combined into allboundaries.zone

Parameters

None –

Return type

None

Notes

None

find_well_intersection_points(self, wells)[source]

Identifies points on a DFN where the well intersects the network. These points are used in meshing the network to have higher resolution in the mesh in these points. Calls a sub-routine run_find_well_intersection_points.

Parameters

  • self (object) – DFN Class

  • well –

    dictionary of information about the well. Contains the following:

    well[“name”]string

    name of the well

    well[“filename”]string
    filename of the well coordinates. “well_coords.dat” for example.

    Format is : x0 y0 z0 x1 y1 z1 … xn yn zn

    well[“r”]float

    radius of the well

Return type

None

Notes

Wells can be a list of well dictionaries. Calls the subroutine run_find_well_intersection_points to remove redundant code.

tag_well_in_mesh(self, wells)[source]

Identifies nodes in a DFN for nodes the intersect a well with radius r [m]

  1. Well coordinates in well[“filename”] are converted to a polyline that are written into “well_{well[‘name’]}_line.inp”

  2. Well is expanded to a volume with radius well[“r”] and written into the avs file well_{well[“name”]}_volume.inp

  3. Nodes in the DFN that intersect with the well are written into the zone file well_{well[“name”]}.zone

  4. If using PFLOTRAN, then an ex file is created from the well zone file

Parameters

  • self (object) – DFN Class

  • well –

    Dictionary of information about the well that contains the following attributes

    well[“name”]string

    name of the well

    well[“filename”]string

    filename of the well coordinates with the following format x0 y0 z0

    x1 y1 z1

    …

    xn yn zn

Return type

None

Notes

Wells can be a list of well dictionaries
