Checking the Flow Balance in a Fracture Network

To ensure that the fracture network that you have specified balances flows in an appropriate manner, GoldSim writes a warning message to the Run Log under the following conditions:

   A flowing pipe has no downstream pipe (or sink) to discharge to, and its flow exceeds 1% of the total flow through the sources.

   An upstream pipe (or group of pipes) has more flow than the downstream pipe (or group of pipes) by an amount exceeding 1% of the total flow through the sources, and the upstream/downstream discrepancy exceeds 1% of the flow in the downstream pipe (or group of pipes).
