imod.flow.StorageCoefficient#
- class imod.flow.StorageCoefficient(storage_coefficient)[source]#
Storage coefficient [-]. Be careful, this is not the same as the specific storage.
From wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_storage):
Storativity or the storage coefficient is the volume of water released from storage per unit decline in hydraulic head in the aquifer, per unit area of the aquifer. Storativity is a dimensionless quantity, and is always greater than 0.
Under confined conditions:
S = Ss * b, where S is the storage coefficient, Ss the specific storage, and b the aquifer thickness.
Under unconfined conditions:
S = Sy, where Sy is the specific yield
- Parameters:
storage_coefficient (float or xr.DataArray) – Storage coefficient, dims = (“layer”, “y”, “x”).
