The Time-Variant Materials (TVM) package works with MODLOW-USG Transport in GMS. The TVM package allows hydraulic conductivity and storage values to be changed as a step function between stress periods or in a continuous manner through a transient simulation. This optional package must be turned on in the MODFLOW Packages / Processes dialog.

TVM Package Dialog

The TVM Package dialog is accessed by selecting MODFLOW | Optional Packages | TVM - Time Varying Material... in GMS.

The TVM Package dialog.

The list on the left of the dialog contains the following options:

  • Comments
    • Text – Create rows where text can be entered by clicking the Add Row Insert Row Icon.svg button at the bottom of the dialog.
  • Variables
    • ITVMPRINT – A print flag determining how much information the TVM package will print to the listing file.
    • TVMLOGBASEHK – Specifies the type of interpolation to use between starting and ending horizontal hydraulic conductivity (HK) property values in each stress period.
    • TVLOGBASEVKA – Specifies the type of interpolation to use between starting and ending vertical hydraulic conductivity (VKA) property values in each stress period.
    • TVMLOGBASESS – Specifies the type of interpolation to use between starting and ending specific storage property values in each stress period.
    • TVMLOGBASESY – Specifies the type of interpolation to use between starting and ending specific yield property values in each stress period.
