uniformflow {raem} | R Documentation |
Create an analytic element with uniform flow
Description
uniformflow()
creates an analytic element of constant uniform background flow.
Usage
uniformflow(TR, gradient, angle, ...)
Arguments
TR |
numeric, constant transmissivity value used to define the discharge. |
gradient |
numeric, hydraulic gradient. Positive in the direction of flow. |
angle |
numeric, angle of the primary direction of background flow in degrees counterclockwise from the x-axis. |
... |
ignored |
Details
TR
and gradient
are multiplied to obtain the discharge which remains
constant throughout the system, independent of the saturated thickness of the aquifer.
Groundwater flow is always in the direction of the negative hydraulic gradient. Note that gradient
is
specified here as positive in the direction of flow for convenience.
Value
Analytic element of constant uniform flow which is an object of class uniformflow
and inherits from element
.
Examples
uf <- uniformflow(TR = 100, gradient = 0.002, angle = -45) # South-eastern direction
