Ian Hutcheon Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 So... a follow on with the previously described kinetic model. Having resolved getting the runs to terminate, I started suppressing "unwanted" minerals, quartz (waters are close to chalcedony satn) and paragonite. However, when I run the simulations, both minerals still appear? I'm obviously missing something. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Farrell Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hi Ian, In Gtplot, does Quartz show up in the "minerals" section, or only in the "mineral saturation" category? If it's the latter there is no problem, since a mineral need not be present to have a saturation index. Is the output being updated after each run? Could you post your script so we can take a look? Thanks, Brian Farrell Aqueous Solutions LLC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Hutcheon Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hi Brian I have sent the input file by email... The file suppresses Quartz (not paragonite, I figure one at a time), but Quartz still seems to show up on GTPLOT. Interesting difference - with Qz, it takes 230 yrs for Dawsonite to reach EUM, with Qz suppressed it takes 55 years? BTW Dawsonite kinetic data from Hellevang et al 2010 Thanks Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
