Description

The  dataset contains 3D thermal model (format - .vtk and .h5) of Los Humeros geothermal system at a regional scale (as defined in Calcagno et al., 2018) corresponding to Scenario 3b explained Deliverable D 6.3 (10.5281/zenodo.3719193). Before using the results of the model, it is advised to carefully read the model parameters, assumptions and uncertainties associated with the model as reported in Deliverable D 6.3.

  1. The .h5 file contains data and attributes (quantity, unit)
  2. The .vtk files contains the following information
    • x, y,  z      UTM coordinates (m)
    • temp         Temperature (°C)
    • head         Hydraulic head (m)
    • pres          Pressure (MPa)
    • por            Porosity (-)
    • q               Heat flow (W m-2)
    • kx, ky, kz   Permeability (m2)
    • vx, vy, vz   Specific discharge or Darcy velocity (m s-1)
    • lx, ly, lz      Thermal conductivity (W m-1 K-1)

Additional information regarding the model is presented in the PDF document.
