## Problem description
We consider one dimensional heat transport in stationary flow in a porous medium.
This benchmark was first introduced as an exercise of
[Geoenergy Modeling I – Geothermal Processes in Fractured Porous Media](https://www.opengeosys.org/books/geoenergy-modeling-i/)
for [OGS 5](https://github.com/ufz/ogs5).
## Numerical setting
The size of the domain is 1 m in the horizontal direction.
The material properties of fluid are:
| Property | Value | Unit |
|------------------------|-------|-------------|
| Density | 1000 | kg/m^3 |
| Viscosity | 1.e-3 | Pa⋅s |
| Specific heat capacity | 4182 | J/K/kg |
| Thermal conductivity | 0.6 | W/(m⋅K) |
The material properties of porous medium are:
| Property | Value | Unit |
|------------------------|-------|-------------|
| Density | 2850 | kg/m^3 |
| Specific heat capacity | 0 | J/K/kg |
| Thermal conductivity | 0 | W/(m⋅K) |
The intrinsic permeability is 1.e-11 m^2. Since the flow equation is steady state,
the porosity $n$ is not applied in that equation. We set $n=1$
in order to use the specific heat capacity and the thermal conductivity of fluid
as the effective ones.
The initial boundary conditions are <em>T(0)=</em>0 °C and
<em>p(0)=</em>1.e+5 Pa.
At the left boundary, a constant temperature of <em>T=</em>1 °C
and a constant pressure of <em>p=</em>1.01e+5 Pa are prescribed.
At the right boundary condition, there is no heat flux and the pressure is
set as the initial one. The pressure boundary conditions lead to a
stationary flow with a velocity of 1.e-5 m/s.
The time duration is 5.e+4 s. A fixed time step size of 250 s is used
for the temporal discretization.
This example is also set as one of the benchmarks of
[ThermoHydroMechanics (THM)](https://gitlab.opengeosys.org/ogs/ogs/-/blob/master/Tests/Data/ThermoHydroMechanics/Linear/HeatTransportInStationaryFlow/HeatTransportInStationaryFlow.prj)
and ThermoRichardsMechanics (TRM), respectively.
In order to provide a reference result for the same benchmark of
THM and TRM, a 2D domain of 1 m $\times$ 0.1 m is used, which
is discretized into 3$\times$39 quadrilateral elements.
## Result
The temperature distribution at <em>t=</em> 5.e+4 s together with the mesh is
illustrated in the following figure:

The temperature profile at <em>t=</em> 5.e+4 s along a horizontal line in the
2D domain is given in the following figure:
