FOAMROCK

Recognised by the OPM Flow parserPROPS

The FOAMROCK keyword defines the foam rock properties for when the Foam option has been activated by the FOAM keyword in the RUNSPEC section.

The keyword is recognized by the input deck parser and simulator support is available in the experimental "ebos" simulator.

Notes:

The keyword is followed by NTSFUN tables as declared on the TABDIMS keyword in the RUNSPEC section.

Each table must contain just one row and one row only.

Each table is terminated by a “/” and there is no “/” terminator for the keyword.

Note

In the commercial simulator if the POLYMER and SURFACT phases have been activated in conjunction with the FOAM phase then the mass density of rock will be set by the PLYROCK, SURFROCK, or the FOAMROCK keywords depending on the order entered in the run deck. This is not the case for OPM Flow.

OPM Flow’s FOAM phase is a standalone implementation and cannot be used in conjunction with the either the POLYMER or SURFACT phases.

Parameters

No.NameDescriptionTypeDimensionFieldMetricLabDefault
1ADSORPTION_INDEX
manual: ADINDX
A positive integer of 1 or 2 that defines foam desorption option, as per: then foam desorption may occur by retracing the foam adsorption isotherm when the local foam concentration in the solution decreases. then no foam desorption may occur. Only the default value of 1 is supported by OPM Flow.INTdimensionless 1dimensionless 1dimensionless 1Defined
2ROCK_DENSITY
manual: DENSITY
A real value that defines the rock in situ density, that is at reservoir conditions.DOUBLEDensitylb/rbkg/rm3gm/rccNone

The above example defines three foam-rock tables, based on the NTSFUN variable on the TABDIMS keyword in the RUNSPEC section being equal to three.
There is no terminating “/” for this keyword.
