`TOUGH `__ (Transport Of Unsaturated Groundwater and Heat) is a general purpose numerical simulation software designed for fluid and heat flows of multiphase, multicomponent fluid mixtures in porous and fractured media developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. It solves mass and energy balance equations that describe fluid and heat flow in multiphase and multicomponent systems. TOUGH handles all types of multiphase and multicomponent flow systems since the governing equations for fluid and heat flow have the same mathematical form. The nature and properties of fluid mixtures are described by thermophysical variables (e.g., density, viscosity, enthalpy) which are provided by an equation-of-state (EOS) module.

**toughio** is an open-source library that provides tools to facilitate pre- and post-processing for TOUGH using the latest Python standards. It aims to make setting up of a TOUGH simulation user-friendly by relying on existing well-established Python packages:

-  `numpy `__: vectorized calculation of N-dimensional arrays,
-  `meshio `__: input/output for many mesh formats,
-  `pyvista `__: 3D plotting and mesh analysis through a streamlined interface for the Visualization Toolkit (VTK).

Note that the results of a TOUGH simulation are sensitive to the quality of the mesh (ideally, it should satisfy the orthogonality condition). A mesh that contains too many ill-shaped cells can potentially lead to unexpected results although the simulation converged successfully. **toughio** does not verify the quality of the mesh which is left to the discretion of the user.

Features
--------

Meshing:

-  Create simple 2D cylindric or 2D/3D structured meshes similarly to TOUGH's built-in *MESHMAKER*,
-  Import mesh generated by external softwares (e.g., `Abaqus `__, `FLAC3D `__, `Gmsh `__, `LaGriT `__),
-  Export imported or generated mesh to a *MESH* file for TOUGH assuming `conformity `__ (and optionally write initial condition file *INCON*).

Pre-processing:

-  Easily add initial conditions, boundary conditions or other physical properties (e.g., porosity, permeability) using the convenient class ``toughio.Mesh``,
-  Import previous TOUGH simulation input file into Python or define simulation parameters in a human-readable and `JSON `__\ able dictionary,
-  Export simulation parameters dictionary to a TOUGH input file.

Post-processing:

-  Import outputs of a TOUGH simulation into Python,
-  Visualize results directly in Python using `pyvista `__ or export the results to another format supported by `meshio `__ (e.g., VTK, Tecplot...),
-  Create animations (GIF or MP4) or export results for all time steps to a XDMF file to be visualized in ParaView.

Installation
------------

The recommended way to install **toughio** and all its dependencies is through the Python Package Index:

.. code:: bash

   pip install toughio[full] --user

Otherwise, clone and extract the package, then run from the package location:

.. code:: bash

   pip install .[full] --user

To test the integrity of the installed package, check out this repository and run:

.. code:: bash

   git lfs pull
   pytest

Documentation
-------------

Refer to the online `documentation `__ for detailed description of the API and examples.

Alternatively, the documentation can be built using `Sphinx `__:

.. code:: bash

   pip install -r doc/requirements.txt
   sphinx-build -b html doc/source doc/build

Note that some sample files are stored with LFS, so you may have to run the following command beforehand:

.. code:: bash

   git lfs pull

Usage
-----

In Python, to read a mesh and write the corresponding TOUGH *MESH* file (without any pre-processing), simply do

.. code:: python

   import toughio

   mesh = toughio.read_mesh(
      filename,
      file_format="flac3d",  # Optional, inferred from file extension otherwise
   )
   mesh.write_tough()  # Write MESH file

Parameters of a TOUGH simulation can be defined as a dictionary with specific keywords following the JSON standard, for instance

.. code:: python

   parameters = {
      "title": "Sample title",
      "eos": "eco2n",
      "isothermal": False,
      "default": {  # Default rock properties
         "density": 2600.0,
         "porosity": 0.1,
         # "permeability", "conductivity", "specific_heat"...
      },
      "rocks": {
         "shale": {  # To overwrite default rock properties
            "capillarity": {
               "id": 1,
               "parameters": [0.0, 0.0, 1.0],
            },
            # same keywords as in "default"
         },
         # other materials
      },
      "options": {
         "n_cycle": 100,
         "t_max": 3.0 * 365.25 * 24.0 * 3600.0,
         # "t_ini", "t_steps", "t_step_max", "gravity", "eps1", "eps2"...
      },
      # "extra_options", "selections", "solver", "generators"...
   }
   toughio.write_input("INFILE", parameters)

TOUGH simulation output can also be imported into Python as a list of *namedtuple* (``type``, ``format``, ``time``, ``labels``, ``data``)

.. code:: python

   output = toughio.read_output(filename)

**toughio** is mainly intended to be used as a Python scripting library for TOUGH. Nevertheless, several utility command line scripts are available for users who are not familiar with Python. From a console or terminal, the user can execute the following scripts:

-  ``toughio-co2tab``: copy file *CO2TAB* to the target directory,
-  ``toughio-export``: export TOUGH simulation results to a file for visualization (VTK, VTU, Tecplot or XDMF),
-  ``toughio-extract``: extract results from TOUGH main output file and reformat as a TOUGH3 element or connection output file (mostly useful for TOUGH2 output *before* calling ``toughio-export``),
-  ``toughio-merge``: merge input file, GENER and/or MESH and/or INCON into a single file,
-  ``toughio-save2incon``: convert a *SAVE* file to an *INCON* file (mostly useful to automatically restart a simulation and reset the counters).
