Description

The dataset contains 3D thermal model (format - .vtk and .h5) of Los Humeros geothermal system at a local scale (extent defined in Calcagno et al., 2018).  The boundary conditions used for this thermal model are obtained from Scenario 3b of regional model discussed in EU Deliverable D6.3 (10.5281/zenodo.3723039) and D6.6 (10.5281/zenodo.3723224).

Before using the results of the model, the user is advised to carefully read the model parameters, assumptions and uncertainties associated with the model as reported in Deliverable D6.3 and Deliverable D6.6.

  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.

Notes

This version contains coordinate error in the .vtk file. Please refer to 10.5281/zenodo.3724084 for the corrected dataset.
