MOSKITO

MOSKITO (Multiphysics cOupled Simulator toolKIT for wellbOres) is an open-source C++ code based on the Finite Element Method. It was developed on MOOSE Framework to solve multi-phase Thermo-Hydro-Chemical (THC) processes within wellbores in a fully coupled manner by considering tightly interconnected and highly non-linear parameters, such as enthalpy, temperature, pressure, specific heat, viscosity, flow rate, heat transfer, degassing, steam quality, salinity and solubility. This code is a part of Maziar's postdoc research, mentored by Prof T. Kohl, at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany.
