ConnectFlow Information

The ConnectFlow software suite provides a flexible, multi-scale modelling environment for simulating the migration of fluids and solutes through fractured and porous rocks, enabling the integrated assessment of structural geology, engineering, hydrogeology, hydro-geochemistry and contaminant transport processes. ConnectFlow offers industry-leading capabilities in the representation of fractured rock hydrogeology and hydrogeochemistry. The software provides a discrete representation of rock fractures and their role as fluid conduits, as well as the more classical porous medium representation of geology. A variety of physical processes are supported to address a wide range of subsurface issues relating to geological disposal of radioactive waste, rock engineering, well performance, and assessing the migration and remediation of contaminants. In alignment with UK Government advice, we have now implemented home working arrangements for staff across Jacobs' UK offices, including Harwell, where the ConnectFlow team is based. During this time, we aim to continue delivering our work with minimal disruption to our customers; ConnectFlow sales and support are largely unaffected at present. It is possible, however, that some delays may occur due to the current situation. For more information on Jacobs response to the pandemic, please see this message from our CEO here. Updates in this version include: Implemented cylindrical particle tracking start volumes in DFN and combined models. Added options to calculate Qeq based on fracture calculation or locally-averaged flows. Added functionality to allow DFN solve variables to be selected using the CHANGE EQUATION DICTIONARIES command as in CPM models. Implemented DFN pressure solve calculations with density varying based on a static temperature field. When calculating particle tracks in transient non-mass-conserving particle tracking, the particle is no longer thrown away if it reaches the last time step in the solution. Instead it continues, using the solution for the last ...
