TOLCRIT

Recognised by the OPM Flow parserPROPS

Critical fluid saturations are determined from the relative permeability tables, that is the last saturation in a relative permeability table where the relative permeability of a phase is set equal to zero. Since floating-point numbers (as implemented in computers) are never exact, one cannot compare floating point numbers for exact equality. Thus, this keyword defines a value below which is considered equivalent to zero in determining the critical saturation for a phase.

Notes:

The keyword is terminated by a “/”.

See also section 8.2.4Saturation Tables (Relative Permeability and Capillary Pressure Tables)for a description of the relative permeability tables and the various end-point definitions, including oil, water and gas critical saturations.

manual: TOLCRIT
TOLCRIT is a real positive number greater than zero and less than one that defines the critical saturation tolerance used to determine the critical saturation of a fluid in the relative permeability tables. The default value of 1 x 10-6 means that relative permeabilty values less than this value will be treated as being equal to zero.DOUBLE1dimensionlessdimensionlessdimensionless1 x 10-6
