>> PUMPING RATIO
Parent Command

Subcommand
>>> SOURCE
Description
This command selects as a parameter the pumping ratios of wells belonging to the same well group. This option can be used to determine the distribution of generation rates among a group of wells, e.g., to determine the optimum pumping strategy for a cleanup operation. For example, the total extraction rate from a system of wells is often limited by the treatment capacity. However, extraction rates of individual wells can be adjusted, optimizing the efficiency of the cleanup operation. A well group consists of all sinks/sources with the same code name (TOUGH2 variable SL). The sum of the constant generation rates (TOUGH2 variable GX) of all wells within the same well group remains constant, but individual rates are adjusted. It is imperative to estimate as many pumping ratios as the number n of wells within the well group of interest. After optimization, the actual generation rate for well i is calculated from the prescribed total pumping rate qtot and the estimated pumping ratio ai :
