Point flow

The frame "Point flow" contains a table with the list of point flows. Adding (editing) a point flow is performed in the "New point flow" dialog window.

A point flow can also be introduced using the mouse. This inputting mode is activated by clicking an appropriate button on the horizontal tool bar "Point flow". The following modes are available:

  • Add
The point flow is introduced by clicking the left mouse button at a desired location on the desktop. The required parameters are introduced in the "New point flow" dialog window.
  • Adjust
Clicking the left mouse button on already existing point flow opens the "Adjust point flow properties" dialog window, which allows for modifying its parameters.
  • Remove
Clicking the left mouse button on already existing point support opens the point flow removal dialog window – accepting this action removes the selected point flow.

The inputted point flows can also be edited on the desktop with the help of active objects.

The following boundary conditions can be specified:

a) Pore pressure at a point
Numerically – the value of pore pressure at a given point is specified [kPa, ksf]
By specifying the location of ground water table (hydraulic head) – coordinate of GWT is specified
b) Point inflow/outflow - pumping/injection rate is specified [m3/day/m, ft3/day/ft ]
