class timflow.steady.inhomogeneity1d.XsectionMaq(model, x1, x2, kaq=1, z=None, c=None, npor=0.3, topboundary='conf', hstar=None, N=None, name=None)#

Bases: Xsection

Cross-section inhomogeneity for a multi-aquifer sequence.

Parameters:

  • model (Model object) – model to which the element is added

  • x1 (float) – left boundary of inhomogeneity (may be -np.inf if extends to infinity)

  • x2 (float) – right boundary of inhomogeneity (may be np.inf if extends to infinity)

  • kaq (float, array or list) – hydraulic conductivity of each aquifer from the top down if float, hydraulic conductivity is the same in all aquifers

  • z (array or list) – elevation tops and bottoms of the aquifers from the top down leaky layers may have zero thickness if topboundary=’conf’: length is 2 * number of aquifers if topboundary=’semi’: length is 2 * number of aquifers + 1 as top of leaky layer on top of systems needs to be specified

  • c (float, array or list) – resistance of leaky layers from the top down if float, resistance is the same for all leaky layers if topboundary=’conf’: length is number of aquifers - 1 if topboundary=’semi’: length is number of aquifers

  • npor (float, array or list) – porosity of all aquifers and leaky layers from the top down if float, porosity is the same for all layers if topboundary=’conf’: length is 2 * number of aquifers - 1 if topboundary=’semi’: length is 2 * number of aquifers

  • topboundary (string, 'conf' or 'semi' (default is 'conf')) – indicating whether the top is confined (‘conf’) or semi-confined (‘semi’)

  • hstar (float or None (default is None)) – head value above semi-confining top, only read if topboundary=’semi’

  • N (float (default is None)) – infiltration rate, only read if topboundary=’conf’
