Attribute: KNOT [m³/TU]

Inflow / outflow rates refer to single nodes e. g. a well. Inflow rates are greater than 0, and outflow rates are less than 0. The boundary condition KNOT can be defined as transient boundary condition as well (transient KNOT data). In a 3D model is to make sure that the attribute KNOT is always set in the saturated region. This can be ensured by using same potentials (attribute GLEI).

 

Meaning of column 16 in the model file:

Blank = unit m³/node/TU, i.e. the value is assigned to all nodes in the following list as explicit inflow / outflow rate.

'/' = unit m³/all nodes/TU, i.e. the value is a total value which is distributed uniformly to all nodes of the list.

 

Example:

KNOT in-/outflow

150. 80, 97- 99

-200. / 106, 105,

 

The following values are assigned to the nodes: 150 m³/TU inflow at the nodes 80, 97, 98, 99; -200 / 2 = -100 m³/ZE outflow at the nodes 105 and 106.
