Axisymmetric 2D models in FeFlow

Can someone tell me what angle is used in the axisymmetric formulation of a 2D model in Feflow.  is it 1 degree (or something else).

Thanks

It is 360 degrees, i.e., the full circle.

Hi Peter,

The paragraph below is extracted from FEFLOE Help files:

[b]In 2D horizontal unconfined and cross-sectional models, the flux boundary condition has the unit [L/T], defining an inflow of water across an area in a certain time: [L³/(L1*L2*T)]. Here, L1 is taken from the length of the line the condition is applied to, while ........ For cross-sectional models, L2 is assumed at unit length (1 m).[/b]

My question is:
1. Is L2 assumed at unit length (1m) for both 2D vertical plannar and vertical axisymmetric model? Then what do you mean by FEFLOW is formulated for 360 degrees?
2. After run the model, you click on rate budget, and get a value like 100 m3/day. Is this number for unit length at L2 direction for both 2D vertical plannar and vertical axisymmetric model?

Thanks a lot.

Hi Quinn,

You're right that this point is not perfectly clear in the help system. I've now added the following paragraph (for the upcoming version 6.2):

[color=green]In 2D axisymmetric models, the flux boundary condition has the unit [L/T] as well. In contrast to the cross-sectional case, L2 represents the circumference, i.e. the local horizontal coordinate x multiplied with 2 and Pi. [/color]

I hope this will help to clarify the question.
