Title: TOUGH-Fx

OSTI ID:1230953

TOUGH-Fx represents the next generation of family of codes for the solution of problems of fluid flow and heat transport in complex geologic media. TOUGH-Fx is the successor to the TOUGH2 family of codes developed by LBNL and used extensively all over the world, It is written in FORTRAN 9512003, uses the advanced capabilities of the new language, and was designed to take advantage of the benefits of object-oriented programming. The code can simulate flow and transport of important (economically and environmentally) fluids in the subsurface, as well as heat transport and any changes of phase that occur within the temperature range of the process/phenomenon under study. TOUGH-Fx is the generic name that describes the main components of the computational engine used by the code. For the simulation of a particular process. TOUGH-Fx needs a module (or modules) that describe the equation of state (EOS) of the fluids involved in the process. Thus, simulation of different processes are possible by using the main TOUGH-Fx and invoking the corresponding EOS modules. Such modules include the EOS of water, the EQS of air and other gases, the EOS of volatile organic substances, the EOS or liquid hydrocarbons, etc.
