setBoundaryWaterLevel utility

Description

Utility to set up head Pressure (3D) or potential (2D) on a specified patch

Can be used to set up water level for all groundwater solvers.

Usage

1. to impose uniform head pressure (unsaturated solvers):

   setBoundaryWaterLevel -patch patchName -value 50.3
   

2. to impose uniform potential (saturated solvers):

   setBoundaryWaterLevel -patch patchName -value 50.3 -field potential
   

3. initialize pressure head with DEM file (unsaturated solvers):

   setBoundaryWaterLevel -patch patchName -DEM stl_file
   

4. initialize potential with DEM file (saturated solvers):

   setBoundaryWaterLevel -patch patchName -DEM stl_file -field potential
   

5. initialize pressure head with STL file (unsaturated solvers):

   setBoundaryWaterLevel -patch patchName -STL stl_file
   

Options

-patch : required to specificy the patch to set up water level

-field : optional <h> to specificy the field to initialize (h or potential)

-value : optional <0> for uniform initialization

-DEM : optional <fileName> file for DEM initialization

-STL : optional <fileName> file for STL initialization

-threshold : optional <0> minimum height for points to look in STL file

-offset : optional <0> specify the constant offset from the STL/DEM file

Restrictions

• STL initialization can be only used for unsaturated solvers.
