Multiphysics Models#
Amanzi allows the user to couple physical models in a number of ways. For a single continuum, the following multiphysics models can be created:
Flow and transport
Flow and reactive transport
Thermal flow
Poroelasticity
Two spatial continua are supported by Amanzi:
Fracture network
Porous matrix
A fracture network could be meshed by the user and given to Amanzi via an input Exodus file. Alternatevely, a fracture network can be automatically extracted from a volumetric mesh using labeled mesh sets, see the Exodus manual for more detail.
Amanzi allows the user to couple physical processes defineid on two spatial continua. Example include:
Flow and transport in a coupled matrix-fracture network system
Flow and reactive transport in a coupled matrix-fracture network system
