DESCRIPTION
This numerical module calculates implicit transient and steady state, confined groundwater
flow in three dimensions based on volume maps and the current 3D region settings. All
initial- and boundary-conditions must be provided as volume maps. The unit in the
location must be meters.
This module is sensitive to mask settings. All cells which are outside the mask are
ignored and handled as no flow boundaries.
The module calculates the piezometric head and optionally the water balance for each cell
and the groundwater velocity field in 3 dimensions. The vector components can be
visualized with ParaView if they are exported with r3.out.vtk.
The groundwater flow will always be calculated transient. For steady state computation
the user should set the timestep to a large number (billions of seconds) or set the
specific yield raster map to zero.
NOTES
The groundwater flow calculation is based on Darcy’s law and a numerical implicit finite
volume discretization. The discretization results in a symmetric and positive definit
linear equation system in form of Ax = b, which must be solved. The groundwater flow
partial differential equation is of the following form:
(dh/dt)*S = div (K grad h) + q
In detail for 3 dimensions:
(dh/dt)*S = Kxx * (d^2h/dx^2) + Kyy * (d^2h/dy^2) + Kzz * (d^2h/dz^2) + q
· h -- the piezometric head im meters [m]
· dt -- the time step for transient calculation in seconds [s]
· S -- the specific yield [1/m]
· b -- the bottom surface of the aquifer meters [m]
· Kxx -- the hydraulic conductivity tensor part in x direction in meter per second
[m/s]
· Kyy -- the hydraulic conductivity tensor part in y direction in meter per seconds
[m/s]
· Kzz -- the hydraulic conductivity tensor part in z direction in meter per seconds
[m/s]
· q - inner source/sinc in [1/s]
Two different boundary conditions are implemented, the Dirichlet and Neumann conditions.
By default the calculation area is surrounded by homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions.
The calculation and boundary status of single cells can be set with the status map, the
following cell states are supported:
· 0 == inactive - the cell with status 0 will not be calulated, active cells will
have a no flow boundary to an inactive cell
· 1 == active - this cell is used for groundwater calculation, inner sources can be
defined for those cells
· 2 == Dirichlet - cells of this type will have a fixed piezometric head value which
do not change over time
Note that all required raster maps are read into main memory. Additionally the linear
equation system will be allocated, so the memory consumption of this module rapidely grow
with the size of the input maps.
The resulting linear equation system Ax = b can be solved with several solvers. An
iterative solvers with sparse and quadratic matrices support is implemented. The
conjugate gradients method with (pcg) and without (cg) precondition. Additionally a
direct Cholesky solver is available. This direct solver only work with normal quadratic
matrices, so be careful using them with large maps (maps of size 10.000 cells will need
more than one Gigabyte of RAM). The user should always prefer to use a sparse matrix
solver.
EXAMPLE 1
This small script creates a working groundwater flow area and data. It cannot be run in a
lat/lon location.
# set the region accordingly
g.region res=25 res3=25 t=100 b=0 n=1000 s=0 w=0 e=1000 -p3
#now create the input raster maps for a confined aquifer
r3.mapcalc expression="phead = if(row() == 1 && depth() == 4, 50, 40)"
r3.mapcalc expression="status = if(row() == 1 && depth() == 4, 2, 1)"

conductivities. Make sure you are not in a lat/lon projection.
