Steady state flow

Steady state flow

Access via: SPRING Calculation Steady state flow

 

Two calculation modules are currently available for calculating steady state flow. These are the GEONEU and SITRA modules. The GEONEU module has features that the SITRA module lacks:

 

  • The calculation of a horizontal model with 3D sub-area

  • Additional potential head values at the element centre points in the streamline calculation due to a triangular or quadrilateral decomposition of the individual elements

 

However, the explanations in the following chapters refer solely to the steady state flow calculation with the SITRA module.
