Full Migration Procedure for Data Prepared for VS2DT 2.5
For data originally prepared for VS2DT 2.5, the full
migration procedure requires:
- modifying the model data file
- creating a namelist file
The model data file must be modified as follows.
- After "Card B-5", insert an extra line containing 2 integers
separated by one or more spaces. The first integer indicates
the type of hydraulic characteristic function to be used. The options
are:
0 - Brooks Corey
1 - van Genuchten
2 - Haverkamp
3 - tabular data
The second integer indicates the type of adsorption or ion exchange.
The options are:
1 - no adsorption, no ion exchange
2 - by Langmuir isotherm
3 - Freundlich isotherm
4 - Monovalent-monovalent ion exchange
5 - Monovalent-divalent ion exchange
6 - Divalent-monovalent ion exchange
7 - Divalent-divalent ion exchange
- If the van Genuchten hydraulic characteristic function is used, replace
the 5th parameter in "Card B-7", alpha-prime, by the inverse of its absolute value,
alpha. VS2DT 3.0 now uses the definition for alpha as it was originally proposed
by van Genuchten (1980). (For example, if the original value is -25, it should be replaced as
0.04.) See revised van Genuchten formula for the equations
used in VS2DT 3.0.
- Replace "99999" by "-99999" (Card C-13).
The namelist file must contain the following 9 lines. The commonly
used file names are indicated in parentheses.
- The name of the model data file (vs2dt.dat).
- The name of the main output file (vs2dt.out).
- The name of the auxiliary output file containing maximum head change
for each time step (file07.out).
- The name of the auxiliary output file containing heads and concentrations at
selected times (file08.out).
- The name of the auxiliary output file containing selected fluid and solute balance
components at each time step (file09.out)
- The name of the auxiliary output file containing heads, concentrations, etc.
for selected observation points at each time step (file11.out).
- If initial pressure heads or moisture contents are specified in
an array, then enter the name of the file containing this array.
(If this array is in the model data file, repeat line 1 here.)
If initial pressure heads or moisture contents are not specified in
an array, then skip this line. (Do not enter a blank line.)
- If initial concentrations are specified in an array, then enter the
name of the file containing this array. (If this array is in the model data file,
repeat line 1 here.) If initial concentrations are not specified in
an array, then skip this line. (Do not enter a blank line.)
- The line containing "# vs2dt3.0" (without quotes). This is always the last line
of the namelist file.
Note: The namelist file must be placed in the same directory
as the model data file.
