Example of time-series functionality in MODFLOW 6 - Tutorial

timeseriesfunctionality.png

Stress periods are defined based on particular stages on the groundwater flow conditions and requirements to hidrogeological flow regime. Time steps are mostly defined based on the computational power, desired output and convergence objectives. It can be possible that boundary conditions varies at times different from the temporal discretization defined by the stress periods and time steps. MODFLOW 6 has a time-series functionality capable of distribute the transient boundary conditions on the determined time steps. The tutorial shows a model on transient flow conditions with boundaries conditions distributed at different time intervals. A comparison of the applied well rate vs. observed pumping rate and applied constant head vs observed head has been done on a Jupyter Notebook.
