Hi,
I am modelling a 3D saturated (phreatic) multi-slice problem - groundwater flow only.
I want to apply a constant water flux across the top slice (recharge) of 175mm/y.
Can I simply apply this value (with the correct units) to each node (Type II BC), or do I need to adjust it somehow so that the flux is spatially constant at 175mm/y across the whole slice? Does Feflow take the applied flux value at the node and multiply it by the area associated with that node to get an areal flux rate? Is that why the results indicate different flux rates for each recharge node?
Also, if the top slice is providing a vertical recharge flux, can I assume that the flux will not be influenced by aquifer thickness in my 3D problem (i.e. I can leave the default setting for nonintegral boundary condition)?
