Partial Migration Procedure for Data Prepared for VS2DH 1.0

For data originally prepared for VS2DH 1.0, the partial migration procedure requires:

The namelist file must contain the following 9 lines. The commonly used file names are indicated in parentheses.

  1. The name of the model data file (vs2dh.dat).
  2. The name of the main output file (vs2dh.out).
  3. The name of the auxiliary output file containing maximum head change for each time step (file07.out).
  4. The name of the auxiliary output file containing heads and temperatures at selected times (file08.out).
  5. The name of the auxiliary output file containing selected fluid and energy balance components at each time step (file09.out)
  6. The name of the auxiliary output file containing heads, temperatures, etc. for selected observation points at each time step (file11.out).
  7. 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.)
  8. If initial temperatures 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 temperatures are not specified in an array, then skip this line. (Do not enter a blank line.)
  9. The line containing "# vs2dh1.0x" (without quotes), where the letter 'x' is replaced by a single-character code that indicates the type of hydraulic characteristic function.
    Replace 'x' by one of the following letters:
    For example, the line "# vs2dh1.0v" indicates use of the van Genuchten hydraulic characteristic function.

Note: The namelist file must be placed in the same directory as the model data file.
