DESCRIPTION¶
This numerical program calculates transient, confined and unconfined groundwater
flow in two dimensions based on raster maps and the current region resolution.
All initial and boundary conditions must be provided as raster maps.

Workflow of r.gwflow
r.gwflow calculates the piezometric head and optionally the filter
velocity field, based on the hydraulic conductivity and the piezometric head.
The vector components can be visualized with paraview if they are exported
with
r.out.vtk.
The groundwater flow will always be calculated transient. If you want to
calculate stady state, set the timestep to a large number (billions of
seconds) or set the specific yield/ effective porosity raster maps to zero.
NOTES¶
The groundwater flow calculation is based on Darcy's law and a finite volume
discretization. The solved groundwater flow partial differential equation is
of the following form:
(dh/dt)*Ss = Kxx * (d^2h/dx^2) + Kyy * (d^2h/dy^2) + q
- h -- the piezometric head im [m]
- dt -- the time step for transient calculation in [s]
- S -- the specific yield [1/m]
- Kxx -- the hydraulic conductivity tensor part in x direction in [m/s]
- Kyy -- the hydraulic conductivity tensor part in y direction in [m/s]
- q - inner source in meter per second [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 must be set with a status map, the following states are supportet:
- 0 == inactive - the cell with status 0 will not be calculated, active
cells will have a no flow boundary to this cell
- 1 == active - this cell is used for groundwater floaw calculation, inner
sources and recharge can be defined for those cells
- 2 == Dirichlet - cells of this type will have a fixed piezometric head
value which do not change over the time
The groundwater flow equation can be solved with several solvers. Two iterative
solvers with sparse and quadratic matrices support are implemented. The
conjugate gradients (cg) method and the biconjugate gradients-stabilized
(bicgstab) method. Additionally a direct Gauss solver and LU solver are
available. Those direct solvers 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). Always prefer a sparse matrix solver.
EXAMPLE¶
Use this small script to create a working groundwater flow area and data. Make
sure you are not in a lat/lon projection.
# set the region accordingly
g.region res=25 res3=25 t=100 b=0 n=1000 s=0 w=0 e=1000
#now create the input raster maps for confined and unconfined aquifers
r.mapcalc "phead=if(row() == 1 , 50, 40)"
r.mapcalc "status=if(row() == 1 , 2, 1)"
r.mapcalc "well=if(row() == 20 && col() == 20 , -0.001, 0)"
r.mapcalc "hydcond=0.00025"
r.mapcalc "recharge=0"
r.mapcalc "top_conf=20.0"
r.mapcalc "top_unconf=70.0"
r.mapcalc "bottom=0.0"
r.mapcalc "null=0.0"
r.mapcalc "poros=0.15"
r.mapcalc "syield=0.0001"
