The DE4 package or Direct Solver is one of the solvers available for MODFLOW. It requires reading in a DE4 file. The ''MODFLOW DE4 Solver'' package dialog will show the variables in the DE4 file. Variables include: | |||
* ''Comments (Text)'' – Allows up to 199 characters. | |||
* ''Maximum number of iterations (ITMX)'' – Per time step. Enter 1 for no interations. | |||
* ''Maximum number of upper equations (MXUP)'' – Impacts the amount of memory used by the package. Prints the actual number of equations in the upper part when the package runs. | |||
* ''Maximum number of lower equations (MXLOW)'' – Impacts the amount of memory used by the package. Prints the actual number of equations in the lower part when the package runs. | |||
* ''Maximum bandwidth (MXBW)'' – Impacts the amount of memory used by the package. Prints the actual band width plus 1 when the package runs. | |||
* ''Frequency of change of coefficients in [A]'' (IFREQ) – Affects the efficiency of solution. Can be 1,2, or 3. | |||
<blockquote style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px;"> | |||
* 1 = The flow equations are linear and that coefficients of simulated head for all stress terms are constant for all stress periods. | |||
* 2 = The flow equations are linear, but coefficients of simulated head for some stress terms may change at the start of each stress period. | |||
* 3 = A nonlinear flow equation is being solved, which means that some terms in [A] depend on simulated head. | |||
</blockquote> | |||
* ''Print flag for convergence information per time step (MUTD4)'' – Can be 0, 1, or 2. | |||
<blockquote style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px;"> | |||
* 0 = The number of iterations in the time step and the maximum head change each iteration are printed. | |||
* 1 = Only the number of iterations in the time step is printed. | |||
* 2 = No information is printed. | |||
</blockquote> | |||
* ''Head change multiplier (ACCL)'' – Normally this value is 1. A value greater than 1 may be useful for improving the rate of convergence when using external iteration to solve nonlinear problems. | |||
* ''Head change closure criterion (HCLOSE)'' – Not used if not iterating, but a value must always be specified. | |||
* ''Interval for time step printing (IPRD4)'' – Not used if not iterating, but a value must always be specified. | |||
