FRICTION

Recognised by the OPM Flow parserRUNSPEC

The FRICTION keyword activates the Wellbore Friction option and defines the maximum number of wellbore friction wells together with the maximum number of well branches.

This keyword is not supported by OPM Flow but would change the results if supported so the simulation will be stopped.

Notes:

The keyword is terminated by a “/”.

1NWFRIC
manual: MXWELS
A positive integer defining the maximum number of wellbore friction wells for this model.INT0
2NWFRIBINT1
3MXBRANA positive integer defining the maximum number of branches per well. The default value of one implies a standard well with no branches.1

-- MXWELS MXBRAN
FRICTION
5 1 /
The above example defines the maximum number of wellbore friction wells to be five and the maximum number of branches set to one, for standard wells.
