timflow.steady.well.Well.capzone(nt=10, zstart=None, hstepmax=10, vstepfrac=0.2, tmax=None, nstepmax=100, silent='.', *, metadata=False)#

Compute a capture zone.

Parameters:

  • nt (int) – number of path lines

  • zstart (scalar or None) – starting elevation of the path lines, middle of aquifer if None

  • hstepmax (scalar) – maximum step in horizontal space

  • vstepfrac (float) – maximum fraction of aquifer layer thickness during one step

  • tmax (scalar) – maximum time

  • nstepmax (scalar(int)) – maximum number of steps

  • silent (boolean or string) – True (no messages), False (all messages), or ‘.’ (print dot for each path line)

Returns:

xyzt

Return type:

list of arrays of x, y, z, and t values
