Name Name - Name of the groundwater flow boundary condition.
Comments Comments - Comments on the groundwater flow boundary condition.
Parent Parent - Name of the line where the groundwater flow boundary condition feature is applied to.
Behaviour Behaviour -
Seepage
Allows groundwater flow through this boundary.
Closed
Prevents groundwater flow through this boundary.
Head
Prescribes a certain head in this boundary.
Inflow
Allows inflow through this boundary.
Outflow
Allows outflow through this boundary.
Infiltration
Allows infiltration through this boundary.
Constant value from previous phase
The boundary condition is set to the same value as the previous phase.
Maintain function from previous phase
The boundary condition continues calculating with the same function as the previous phase.
Distribution Distribution -
Uniform
The distribution is set to uniform.
Vertical increment
The distribution is increases or decreses along the vertical boundary.
Horizontal increment
The distribution is increases or decreses along the horizontal boundary.
Start/end values
The distribution is varies according to the start and end values.
Time dependency Time dependency -
Constant
The time dependency is set to constant.
Time dependent
The time dependency is set to time dependent.
