uniformflow: Create an analytic element with uniform flow
Description
uniformflow() creates an analytic element of constant uniform background flow.
Usage
uniformflow(TR, gradient, angle, ...)
Value
Analytic element of constant uniform flow which is an object of class uniformflow and inherits from element.
Arguments
TR
numeric, constant transmissivity value used to define the discharge.
gradient
numeric, hydraulic gradient. Positive in the direction of flow.
angle
numeric, angle of the primary direction of background flow
in degrees counterclockwise from the x-axis.
...
ignored
Details
TR and gradient are multiplied to obtain the discharge which remains
constant throughout the system, independent of the saturated thickness of the aquifer.
Groundwater flow is always in the direction of the negative hydraulic gradient. Note that gradient is
specified here as positive in the direction of flow for convenience.
