Input Instructions
Input to define multiplier arrays is read from the file that is specified with "MULT" as the file type. Multiplier arrays can be used to calculate layer variables from parameter values.
FOR EACH SIMULATION |
|
Data Set 0 |
[#Text] Item 0 is optional—“#” must be in column 1. Item 0 can be repeated multiple times. |
Data Set 1 |
NML [MULTPRINT] |
Repeat Item 2 with Items 3 or 4 or 5 until NML multiplier arrays, vectors, or scalars have been defined. |
|
Data Set 2 |
MLTNAM [ FUNCTION] [EXPRESSION]
|
Data Set 3 |
[RMLT(NCOL,NROW)] - U2DREL If Item 2 does not contain the optional FUNCTION key word or optional EXPRESSION key word, read item 3. Item 2 cannot have both key words FUNCTION and EXPRESSION at the same time. |
Data Set 4 |
[MLTNAM1 [op1 MLTNAM2] [op2 MLTNAM3] [op3 MLTNAM4] ... ] [IPRN] Item 4 is only read if Item 3 contains the optional FUNCTION key word. |
Data Set 5 (Only supported in MODFLOW-OWHM) |
Item 5 is only read if Item 3 contains the optional EXPRESSION key word. It is a single mathematical expression composed of previously defined multiplier arrays.

Example Multiplier Array Input Using the FUNCTION and EXPRESSION Keywords in MODFLOW-OWHM.
The following two example inputs illustrate the use of the FUNCTION and EXPRESSION keywords to construct a multiplier array from other multiplier arrays. In the first example, a model layer that has 5 rows and 4 columns has six multiplier arrays, vectors, or scalars to be defined, and, accordingly, the first line of the file contains “6.” The first two arrays (named M1 and M2) are read using the U2DREL utility array reader (Item 3), the third array (named POW) is a multiplier array set to the number 2. The fourth array (named M4) is defined by using the FUNCTION key word, which follows left to right order of operations. This results in calculating M4 as the sum of M1 and M2, which is then raised to power POW (that is, (M1+M2)POW). Note that the "^" operator is only supported in MODFLOW-OWHM. The fifth matrix (named M5) is defined by using the EXPRESSION key word, which follows mathematical order of operations and produces an identical multiplier to M4. The sixth matrix (named M6) is defined by using the EXPRESSION key word that calculations M2POW first and then sums the result with M1.
The second example is a more complex application of the EXPRESSION key word that constructs a multiplier matrix composed of a weighted power mean, 
and 
, of two multiplier matrices (n = 2). In this second example there are eight multiplier arrays, vectors, or scalars to be defined, and accordingly the first line of the file contains “8”. The first two multiplier arrays, vectors, or scalars (named X1 and X2) define x1 and x2. The third multiplier array (named POW) defines the power mean power, p, which for this case is –1 to represent a harmonic mean. The fourth multiplier matrix is a matrix composed of all ones. The fifth multiplier (named W1) is the first weight, w1, read from a free formatted external file. The sixth multiplier (named W2) is the second weight, w2 = 1 – w1, which is constructed using the FUNCTION key word (left to right order of operations). The seventh multiplier (named PowerMean1) solves the power mean using W2 with the EXPRESSION key word. The eighth multiplier (named PowerMean2) solves the power mean without using W2 via the EXPRESSION key word.
