forrie Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Hi Is it possible to increase the water content in X1t over the model time (node per node)? In the model is an unsaturated zone with an underlying saturated sone and I want to simulate a rising waterlevel. As I understand the "porosity" in "medium properties" needs to increase over time. The unsat zone has an initial water content of 0.1 and this must increase to 0.3 over time. If not in GWB, is it possible to write such a function/script outside GWB?

forrie Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 It would probably work better if I do it in X2t because in X1t flow can only be in one dimension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Farrell Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 You might initially set porosity to 10% and try setting 20% of the aquifer volume to be some mineral, for which you would set a dissolution kinetic rate law. As the mineral dissolves, porosity would increase and so would the water content. Complete dissolution would mean porosity reaches 30%. For the mineral, you might make up some mineral and a species that it dissolves to form that would not react with any other species in your system (fake(aq) and fake(mineral)?). I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for - it depends on the purpose of your model. Let me know if that seems ok. Brian Farrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
