`WATVISCT`

Recognised by the OPM Flow parserPROPS

WATVISCT defines the water viscosity as a function of temperature for when thermal option has been activated by the THERMAL keywords in the RUNSPEC. The reference pressure for this table is given by the VISCREF keyword in the PROPS section.

This keyword can only be used if OPM Flow’s thermal option has been activated by the THERMAL keyword in the RUNSPEC section. Note this is different to the commercial simulator that uses the TEMP keyword in the RUNSPEC section to activate the black-oil thermal model.

Notes:

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

Each table must contain a minimum of two rows and a maximum of NPPVT rows as declared on the TABDIMS keyword in the RUNSPEC section.

Each table 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

No.	Name	Description	Type	Dimension	Field	Metric	Lab	Default
1	`DATA` manual: `TEMP`	A columnar vector of real monotonically increasing down the column values that defines the temperature values.	DOUBLE	Temperature, Viscosity	°F	°C	°C	None
2	`VIS`	A columnar vector of real decreasing down the column values that defines the water viscosity for the corresponding temperature values (TEMP). VIS should be given at the reference pressure defined by the PRESS variable on the VISCREF keyword.			cP	cP	cP	None

Example

The following example shows the WATVISCT keyword for when the thermal option has been activated by the THERMAL keyword in the RUNSPEC section and for when NTPVT on the TABDIMS keyword in the RUNSPEC section is set equal to one.
