PorousFlowEnergyAccumulator

accumulate the produced thermal energy

Description

PorousFlowEnergyAccumulator accumulates the produced thermal energy of a doublet system. On every timestep where the supplied ProductionIndicator postprocessor is greater than 0.5, the sum of the hotwellenergy and coldwellenergy postprocessors is added to a running total; timesteps where the indicator is at or below 0.5 (e.g. during an injection-only or idle season) do not contribute. The comparison is against 0.5 rather than an exact equality test with 1 so that a smoothed or transfer-round-tripped indicator still registers. The postprocessor value reported is the absolute value of the running total, so it grows monotonically over a simulation dominated by production.
