LouD Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 How is viscosity calculated? I am particularly interested in how it evolves in a gas-H2O system. I did not find any reference to this in either Craig's book or the software documentation. Did I miss something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Meuzelaar Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Lou: Density calculations are given as follows (the equations are taken out of UIUC's Basin modeling program guide): I hope that helps. Regards, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouD Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 hi Tom, Thanks, that's interesting (and is indeed useful), but what I was really wondering about was viscosity. Maybe this is also in the Basin2 guide, but that is no longer available at UIUC hydrogeology site, I gather they "retired" the software.

Tom Meuzelaar Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Oops- sloppy. I posted the wrong part of the manual. Viscosity in Basin2 is calculated via either a lookup table or equation- as soon as I figure which one GWB uses, I'll post the correct info here.

LouD Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 hi Tom, OK, cool -and a reference to the method would be great. L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Meuzelaar Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Hi Lou: Here is the correct portion of the manual: The reference is as follows: Phillips, S.L.H, H. Ozbek, A. Igbene and G. Litton, 1980, Viscosity of NaCl and other solutions up to 350C and 50 MPa pressures. Lawrence Berkely Laboratory Report LBL-11586, 71 p. Let me know if that resolves it for you.
