Editorial to the special issue on the 2015 TOUGH Symposium
Abstract
This Special Issue of Transport in Porous Media features selected papers from the 2015 TOUGH Symposium, which took place on September 28–30, 2015, in Berkeley, California, USA. Such symposia are held every 3 years and are a forum where users of the TOUGH family of numerical simulators meet for an open exchange on the code applications and recent enhancements. The TOUGH codes (TOUGH is an acronym for Transport of Unsaturated Groundwater and Heat) were originally developed in the early 1980s for geothermal reservoir simulation by a team of researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) headed by Karsten Pruess (see http://esd.lbl.gov/TOUGH). The TOUGH codes have a modular structure in which different fluid components can be incorporated into the code by means of a replaceable equation of state (EOS) package. Since its first release, a variety of important EOS modules have been developed, enabling the modeling of volatile organic compounds, decay chains of multiple radionuclides, gas hydrates, tight and shale gas behavior, enhanced oil recovery, and supercritical water and CO2. Derivatives and descendants of the basic TOUGH code include coupled multi-phase flow and reactive chemical transport; coupled thermo-hydrologic-mechanical processes; inverse modeling for parameter estimation, sensitivity analysis, and uncertainty quantification; andmore »

The TOUGH codes have been applied to a large variety of problems, including geothermal and petroleum reservoir engineering, nuclear waste and CO2 geologic sequestration, subsurface environmental remediation, methane gas hydrate production, compressed air energy storage, and many other energy and environmental applications. Finally, the international TOUGH user community currently numbers almost 400 organizations (research laboratories, government agencies, private companies, universities, etc.) in over 60 countries.},
