TEMPERATURE    Definition of temperature conditions

Usage

*TEMPERATURE,  TYPE=Gradient/Table

Description

Defines temperature conditions for the current problem. This will generate ParaGeo spatial variation data for temperature.

 

Compulsory Parameters

TYPE

Defines how the temperature conditions are specified. Valid options are:

- Gradient

- Table

 

If TYPE is set to Gradient the surface temperature and the temperature gradient in problem units must be provided.

If TYPE is set to Table the temperature vs depth should be provided in a comma separated value table.

 

Examples

 

*TEMPERATURE, TYPE=Gradient

  5.0  0.025

 

 

1The surface temperature is 5.0 ºC and the temperature gradient is 0.025 ºC/m.

 

 

*TEMPERATURE, TYPE=Table

  0.0,     5.0

  500.0,   18.0

  1000.0,  35.0

  5000.0,  155.0

 

 

 

1The temperature is provided in a depth, temperature table form.
