Initial parameters & result merged in https://github.com/NREL/GEOPHIRES-X/pull/203; Fervo_Norbeck_Latimer_2024.txt
and Fervo_Norbeck_Latimer_2024.out
are still considered work-in-progress until @kfbeckers and/or @malcolm-dsider further review & refine.
Issue was automatically closed by merge of https://github.com/NREL/GEOPHIRES-X/pull/204 - re-opened because PR was not fully reviewed by myself or additional geothermal SME
Thanks a lot, they are really helpful.
