`SHRATE`

Recognised by the OPM Flow parserPROPS

Variant 1 — PROPS section

This keyword activates the logarithm-based polymer shear thinning/thickening option and defines the shear rate constant. This keyword can only be used in conjunction with the PLYSHLOG in the PROPS section

Notes:

This keyword is followed by NTPVT values as declared on the TABDIMS keyword in the RUNSPEC section.

Each value is terminated by a "/" and there is no "/" terminator for the keyword.

Records: Fixed number of records
Variadic: The record accepts a variable number of items

Parameters

Example

The following example activates the logarithm-based polymer shear thinning/thickening option and defines the shear rate constants for a run with two PVT regions.
