Abbreviation in Name file

FHB

Purpose

The Flow and Head Boundary package is used for specified head cells and specified flow cells whose properties can vary within a stress period.

Documentation

Leake, S.A., and Lilly, M.R., 1997, Documentation of a computer program (FHB1) for assignment of transient specified-flow and specified-head boundaries in applications of the modular finite-difference ground-water flow model (MODFLOW): U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 97-571, 50 p.

Other Notes

Specified heads specified in the the Flow and Head Boundary package override those specified in the the Basic and Time-Variant Specified-Head packages.

If two different specified heads are specified for the same cell with the Flow and Head Boundary package, the later one overrides the earlier one.

If two specified fluxes are specified for the same cell with the Flow and Head Boundary package, the fluxes are added together.

Programmers should know that the Flow and Head Boundary package changes the value assigned to IBOUND in the Basic package.

If the UZF package is used, IUZFBND should be set to zero for all specified head cells.

Input Instructions

Input for FHB1 is read from the file that has file type "FHB" in the name file.. All input is free format, which requires each of the numbered data groups to start on a new input record. More than one record can be used for any data group and numbers within data groups must be separated by at least one space or a comma. Integer data types cannot include a decimal point. Blank spaces are not treated as zeros. For an example annotated input data set, refer to figure 8 in Leake and Lilly 1997.
