infiltrationEventFile class

Description

Event file handler/reader for the porousMultiphaseFoam toolbox which contain m dates with one infiltration value expressed in m/s.

Intermediate values are computed by linear interpolation. Infiltration before time1 and after timem are equal to 0.

Note

You may specify an heterogenous time-variable infiltration by giving an infiltration value for each cell and each time. See tutorials groundwater2DFoam/timeVariableInfiltration for an example

Format

The class reads the file :

date time1
infiltrationTerm1
date time2
infiltrationTerm2
...
date timem
infiltrationTermm

Usage

To use source event file, you should specify the file in transportProperties as

infiltrationEventFile "flowRateOverTime.evt";

Restrictions

The infiltration event file can be used in:

• groundwater2DFoam solver

• groundwaterTransport2DFoam solver
