classmethod River.split_conductance(conductance, infiltration_factor)[source]#

Seperates (exfiltration) conductance with an infiltration factor (iMODFLOW) into a drainage conductance and a river conductance following methods explained in Zaadnoordijk (2009).

Parameters:

  • conductance (xr.DataArray or float) – Exfiltration conductance. Is the default conductance provided to the iMODFLOW river package

  • infiltration_factor (xr.DataArray or float) – Infiltration factor. The exfiltration conductance is multiplied with this factor to compute the infiltration conductance. If 0, no infiltration takes place; if 1, infiltration is equal to exfiltration

Returns:

  • drainage_conductance (xr.DataArray) – conductance for the drainage package

  • river_conductance (xr.DataArray) – conductance for the river package

  • Derivation

  • ———-

  • From Zaadnoordijk (2009)

  • [1] cond_RIV = A/ci

  • [2] cond_DRN = A * (ci-cd) / (ci*cd)

  • Where cond_RIV and cond_DRN repsectively are the River and Drainage conductance [L^2/T],

  • A is the cell area [L^2] and ci and cd respectively are the infiltration and exfiltration resistance [T]

  • Taking f as the infiltration factor and cond_d as the exfiltration conductance, we can write (iMOD manual)

  • [3] ci = cd * (1/f)

  • [4] cond_d = A/cd

  • We can then rewrite equations 1 and 2 to

  • [5] cond_RIV = f * cond_d

  • [6] cond_DRN = (1-f) * cond_d
