MF6 BUY Package

The Buoyancy (BUY) Package dialog

The Buoyancy (BUY) Package dialog is accessed by double-clicking on the BUY package under a MODFLOW 6 simulation in the Project Explorer. It contains the following sections and options:

• Sections list – A list of sections that can be turned on or off:
  • Comments – Turn on to make the Comments section visible.
  • Options – Turn on to make the Options section visible.
  • PACKAGEDATA – Turn on to make the PACAKGEDATA section visible. This section is on by default.
• Comments section – Enter general alphanumeric comments. Comments entered here get written at the top of the file, preceded by a '#' symbol.
• Options section – Temporal options and settings:
  • HHFORMULATION_RHS – Using variable-density hydraulic head formulation on the right-hand, this prevents adding asymmetric terms to the flow matrix.
  • DENSEREF – This allows a fluid reference density to be specified in the equation of state. If not active to be specified, this value is set to 1000.
  • DENSITY FILEOUT – This allows the density to be saved to a binary output file that is specified.
• PACKAGEDATA section – A spreadsheet section which contains the following:
  • Add Rows... – This button brings up a Rows to Add dialog, where a number can be specified to the right of Number of rows to add at bottom. This will help populate the spreadsheet.
  • IRHOSPEC – This column represents the IRHOSPEC integer values, which define the species numbers for the PACKAGEDATA on each line. These must be greater than zero and less than or equal to the separately defined NRHOSPECIES value. The program will terminate with an error if an NRHOSPECIES species doesn't have information specified, or if its information is specified more than once.
  • DRHODC – This column represents the DRHODC values, which define the slopes of the density-concentration lines used in the density equation of state.
  • CRHOREF – This column represents the CRHOREF values, which define the reference concentration values used in the density equation of state.

  • AUXSPECIESNAME – This column represents the AUXSPECIESNAME values, which names GWF stress package auxiliary variables that will be used to calculate a density value. The Buoyancy Package can use these simulated concentration values to calculate density values for lakes, streams, multi-aquifer wells, and unsaturated zone flow cells.

MF6 CSUB Package

  • GAMMAW – This allows the unit weight of water to be set. For freshwater, GAMMAW is 9806.65 Newtons/cubic meters (SI) or 62.48 lb/cubic foot (English units). The default value for GAMMAW is 9806.65 Newtons/cubic meters.
  • BETA – This allows for the compressibility of water to be set. Typical values of BETA are 4.6512e-10 1/Pa (SI) or 2.2270e-8 lb/square foot (English units). The default value for BETA is 4.6512e-10 1/Pa.

  • INITIAL_PRECONSOLIDATION_HEAD – This indicates that preconsolidation heads will be specified for no-delay and delay interbeds in the PACKAGEDATA block. When SPECIFIED_INTIAL_INTERBED_STATE is specified, these will be absolute values. When it isn't, these will be relative to steady-state or initial heads.
  • NDELAYCELLS – This allows a number to be set for the number of nodes used to discretize delay interbeds. When this isn't set, a default value of 19 is assigned.
  • COMPRESSION_INDICES – This indicates that recompression (CR) and compression (CC) indices will be specified, replacing the elastic specific storage (SSE) and inelastic specific storage (SSV) coefficients. When this isn't set, the SSE and SSV coefficients will have to be specified.

  • SPECIFIED_INITIAL_INTERBED_STATE – This indicates that absolute preconsolidation stresses (heads) and delay bed heads will be specified for the interbeds that are defined in the PACKAGEDATA block. This is equivalent to specifying both SPECIFIED_INITIAL_PRECONSOLDIATION_STRESS and SPECIFIED_INITIAL_DELAY_HEAD. If this option is not set, then these values will be relative to simulated values (if the first stress period is steady-state) or initial stresses and GWF heads (if the first stress period is transient).
  • SPECIFIED_INITIAL_PRECONSOLIDATION_STRESS – This indicates that absolute preconsolidation stresses (heads) will be specified for interbeds that are defined in the PACKAGEDATA block. If neither this option nor SPECIFIED_INITIAL_INTERBED_STATE are set, then these values will be relative to simulated values (if the first stress period is steady-state) or initial stresses (heads) (if the first stress period is transient).

  • EFFECTIVE_STRESS_LAG – This indicates that effective stress from the previous time step will be used to calculate specific storage values. This is helpful with convergence in models with thin cells and water table elevations close to land surface, is identical to the SUBWT package approach for MODFLOW-2005, and will only be used when the effective-stress formulation is being used. When this isn't set, the default is to use current effective stress values to calculate specific storage values.

  • Define – This allows data within the GRIDDATA section to be defined. When this is inactive, all of the options within a given tab are grayed out. This option is unavailable in the CG_SKE_CR and CG_THETA tabs, so they are automatically defined.

  • Drop-down and Constant/Factor – The drop-down in the GRIDDATA section has two options. The option selected will change the nature of the textbox to its right.
    • CONSTANT – This will change the textbox to the right to be representative of "Constant". If this is selected, the spreadsheet in the GRIDDATA section will be grayed out.
