Headwater 100 km2 MF6 Transient Reference#

Note

This page and its static assets are auto-generated by python -m tools.doc_gallery. The Sphinx build only reads committed PNG and JSON artifacts.

This case reuses the committed 100 km2 outlet-2 triangular mesh instead of meshing at runtime. It exposes the reference three-year MODFLOW 6 replay used as the baseline for the newer realistic-scenario family, with a compact set of flow-state, support, and cumulative budget figures copied into the gallery.

Case Setup#

  • Static gallery manifest: the committed capability-gallery manifest records the published assets and their generation context.

  • The source run used a committed triangular mesh, the flow-only process chain, and common postprocess/display switches.

  • Execution chain: committed mesh_input bundle -> MODFLOW 6 transient flow -> postprocess rasters and synthesis figures -> gallery publication.

What It Shows#

  • How a committed mesh-input workflow differs from the runtime-meshed simulation pages.

  • How monthly synthetic recharge drives three years of cumulative recharge and discharge on a real basin support.

  • How the same run can surface both global synthesis figures and direct water-table maps without shipping the full solver workspace.

Key Parameters#

  • [mesh_input] mesh_path and bundle_dir lock the support to the versioned 100 km2 outlet-2 mesh, which makes this page a support-reuse workflow rather than a meshing example.

  • [simulation.time] start_datetime, end_datetime, and step_value define the three-year monthly replay window shown in the cumulative curves.

  • [[data.recharge.sources]] values, freq, and runoff_ratio define the synthetic forcing chronology that drives the transient response.

  • [flow.param.K.field], [flow.param.Sy.field], and [flow.param.Ss.field] are the main parameters to perturb when comparing this reference run against the more complex scenario overlays.

How To Read It#

  • Open the support overview first to verify that the run reused the committed mesh bundle and sampled the structural surfaces as expected.

  • Read the flow-state triptych next for the compact basin-wide synthesis, then use the direct water-table maps when you need one variable isolated.

  • Use the cumulative recharge/discharge panel last to judge whether the imposed forcing and the integrated basin response remain coherent over the three-year window.
