Visualization of Saturation Profiles in Paraview Using OpenPNM for Two-Phase Flow Simulations

[PNMExplorer]

Dear Community,

I hope this message finds you well. I am currently working on a two-phase flow simulation using OpenPNM and Paraview and would like to seek clarification on the visualization capabilities of saturation profiles with time steps.

In my single-phase flow simulations, I have successfully visualized pore concentrations over time using transient advection-diffusion models. However, I am encountering challenges when attempting to extend this visualization to two-phase flow scenarios.

Specifically, I am interested in understanding whether it is feasible to visualize the saturation profile with respect to time steps in Paraview when conducting a two-phase flow simulation with OpenPNM. I would appreciate any insights or guidance on whether OpenPNM provides the necessary functionality for achieving this visualization and if there are specific considerations or steps to follow.

The output of the invasion and drainage simulations include invasion sequence. You can use that to make a movie. You can also create a new variable of "pseudo-time" where you take a fixed flow rate, the sequence number and the pore volume to compute a physical time at which each pore becomes filled.

Thank you, Professor. I will try this.
