Hello,
I have a question about 2D axisysmmetric models for the injection and extraction
of hot water into an aquifer.
The left radial axis should represent my well screen section. I already tried
Well BC 4th kind for every node of the well screen and divide the desired flow
rate
by the total number of nodes. But I want to simulate it more realistic like a
MLW in 3D.
My idea was putting a Discrete Feature Element along the well screen edges and
put a well BC at the top of the DFE, to simulate hot water entering the well and
the aquifer from the top. However, if i put the DFE at the left most edges, the
water of the Well BC does not flow along the DFE into the aquifer.
I tried putting the edges and nodes of the line for the DFE 0.1m away from the
left boundary (having a radius for the well of 0.1m) and then it works fine.
I can imagine that this is because of the axial symmetry and that the radius and
area of the DFE then would be 0, if its on the left boundary.
So I'm wondering if this would be the correct way to do it in FEFLOW?
Thanks,
Max
