IWL2CB is a flag and a unit number.

•If IWL2CB > 0, it is the unit number on which cell-by-cell flow terms will be recorded whenever ICBCFL is set or "Save Budget" is specified in Output Control.

•If IWL2CB = 0, cell-by-cell flow terms will not be printed or recorded.

•If IWL2CB < 0, The absolute value of IWL2CB is the unit number on which cell-by-cell flow terms will be recorded whenever ICBCFL is set or "Save Budget" is specified and well recharge, water-levels in the well and cell, drawdown in the well, and the flow-rate-weighted water-quality value of the IQWGRP will be printed whenever ICBCFL is set or "Save Budget" is specified.

IWELPT is a flag. If IWELPT is not equal to 0, no well information will be printed.

Flow in MNW wells will not be calculated after NOMOITER iterations.

kspref = is the set of water levels in the HNEW matrix at the beginning of the stress period kspref that will be used as default reference values for calculating drawdown. Kspref defaults to 1 if it is not specified by the user.

LOSSTYPE is a flag to determine the user-specified model for well loss.

•If LOSSTYPE is set to SKIN, head loss is defined with skin. Model is linear.

•If LOSSTYPE is set to LINEAR, head loss is defined with coefficient B. Model is linear.

•If LOSSTYPE is set to NONLINEAR, head loss is defined with coefficients B and C. Model is nonlinear.

If LOSSTYPE is nonlinear, PLossMNW represents the exponent P in equation 5. See equation 5 (p. 8) of Halford and Hanson (2002) for more information regarding PLossMNW.

filename = is the name of an auxiliary output file. The file name need not be include in the Name file but it must be a unique file name.

iunw1 = is a unit number. Filename will be written to unit number iunw1. Output is a WEL1 input file with the flow rates specified at the end of each stress period. Including filename in the Name file is optional but both the file name and the unit number must be unique.

filename = is the name of an auxiliary output file. The file name need not be include in the Name file but it must be a unique file name.

iunby = is a unit number. Filename will be written to unit number iunby. Output is flow rate at each well node.

ALLTIME a flag that indicates flow rates should be written to BYNODE or QSUM at every time step regardless of the settings in the output control (OC) file.

filename = is the name of an auxiliary output file. The file name need not be include in the Name file but it must be a unique file name.

iunqs = is a unit number. Filename will be written to unit number iunqs. Output is total flow rate from each multi-node well.

ALLTIME a flag that indicates flow rates should be written to BYNODE or QSUM at every time step regardless of the settings in the output control (OC) file.

ITMP is a flag.

•If ITMP < 0, wells from previous stress period will be reused and input from item 5 will not be read.

•If ITMP =, 0 no wells will be simulated and input from item 5 will not be read.

•If ITMP > 0, is the number of records of drawdown-limited well data that will be read for the current stress period. If the key ADD is not detected on record 4, the maximum number of drawdown-limited wells for the current stress period will be ITMP. If the key ADD is detected on record 4, ITMP wells will be added to the existing list of drawdown-limited wells.

ADD a flag that indicates whether or not the well cells read for the current stress period will augment or replace the well cells that were previously defined.

Layer is the layer number of the model cell that contains the well.

Row is the row number of the model cell that contains the well.

Column is the column number of the model cell that contains the well.

Qdes is the desired volumetric pumping or recharge rate. A positive value indicates recharge and a negative value indicates discharge. The actual volumetric recharge rate will range from 0 to Qdes and is not allowed to switch directions between discharge and recharge conditions during any stress period.

(MN) a flag that indicates this entry is part of a multi-node well. The flag MN is not included on the first entry of a multi-node well and is exclusive of the flag MULTI.

(MULTI) a flag that indicates this entry is the end of a multi-node well and all intervening nodes between this entry and the previous MULTI flag are part of a multi-node well. Intervening nodes will be assigned the same cell-to-well conductance that was specified in this entry. The flag MULTI is not included on the first entry of a multi-node well and is exclusive of the flag MN.

Both the following examples specify a multi-node well in Column 5, Row 5 that extends from layer 1 to layer 3.

Example 1

         1        5        5       0.1

         3        5        5       0.1 MULTI

Example 2

         1        5        5       0.1

         2        5        5       0.1 MN

         3        5        5       0.1 MN

When MULTI is used, the well should always be aligned along a column, row, or layer.

QWval is the water-quality value that is to be flow-rate averaged amongst wells in the same Iqwgrp. Negative water-quality values and positive flow terms are not averaged. Water-quality values can be respecified for each stress period.

Rw is a flag and a variable used to define the cell-to-well conductance.

•If Rw > 0, The variable represents the radius of the well and the cell-to-well conductance is calculated with eq. 5 as formulated by Peaceman (1983).

•If Rw = 0, the head in the cell is assumed to be equivalent to the head in the well and the cell-to-well conductance is set to 1,000 times the transmissivity of the cell. The cell is NOT allowed to be part of a multi-node well.

•If Rw < 0, the absolute value of the variable is the cell-to-well conductance.

Skin defines the friction losses to the well owing to the screen and to formation damage. The variable is either a skin or the coefficient B depending on the LOSSTYPE, and is used in eq. 5 when Rw > 0.

Hlim is the limiting water level, which is a minimum for discharging wells and a maximum for recharging wells. If the flag DD is set, the value of Hlim read is a drawdown from the reference elevation. For Qdes < 0, Hlim = Href - Hlim and for Qdes > 0, Hlim = Href + Hlim.

Href is the reference elevation. If the value of Href read is greater than the maximum water level from the HNEW matrix at the beginning of the stress period kspref, Href is set to the simulated water level at the location of the drawdown-limited well.

DD a flag that indicates the value of Hlim read is a drawdown or build-up from the reference elevation.

Iqwgrp is a water-quality group identifier. Flow-rate averaged water-quality values are reported for each group of wells with the same lqwgrp and Qwval entries that are not negative.

Cp:C is coefficient for nonlinear head losses (eqn. 2). The variable is used only when the LOSSTYPE is NONLINEAR. Default value is 0 if not specified.

Qfrcmx minimum potential pumping rate that must be exceeded to reactivate a well.

DEFAULT a flag that sets this entry of Qfrcmn and Qfrcmx as the new default values.

(SITE: is an optional label for identifying wells. An individual file of time, discharge, water level MNWsite) in well, concentration, net-inflow, net-outflow, and node-by-node flows will be written for each well with a unique MNWsite label. Individual well files are tab delimited. Only one label should be applied to a multi-node well. MNWsite can be up to 32 characters in length. MNWsite can not contain space or tab characters.
