Bases: flopy.pakbase.Package

MODFLOW Discretization Package Class.

Parameters:
  • model (model object) – The model object (of type flopy.modflow.Modflow) to which this package will be added.
  • nlay (int) – Number of model layers (the default is 1).
  • nrow (int) – Number of model rows (the default is 2).
  • ncol (int) – Number of model columns (the default is 2).
  • nper (int) – Number of model stress periods (the default is 1).
  • delr (float or array of floats (ncol), optional) – An array of spacings along a row (the default is 1.0).
  • delc (float or array of floats (nrow), optional) – An array of spacings along a column (the default is 0.0).
  • laycbd (int or array of ints (nlay), optional) – An array of flags indicating whether or not a layer has a Quasi-3D confining bed below it. 0 indicates no confining bed, and not zero indicates a confining bed. LAYCBD for the bottom layer must be 0. (the default is 0)
  • top (float or array of floats (nrow, ncol), optional) – An array of the top elevation of layer 1. For the common situation in which the top layer represents a water-table aquifer, it may be reasonable to set Top equal to land-surface elevation (the default is 1.0)
  • botm (float or array of floats (nlay, nrow, ncol), optional) – An array of the bottom elevation for each model cell (the default is 0.)
  • perlen (float or array of floats (nper)) – An array of the stress period lengths.
  • nstp (int or array of ints (nper)) – Number of time steps in each stress period (default is 1).
  • tsmult (float or array of floats (nper)) – Time step multiplier (default is 1.0).
  • steady (boolean or array of boolean (nper)) – true or False indicating whether or not stress period is steady state (default is True).
  • itmuni (int) – Time units, default is days (4)
  • lenuni (int) – Length units, default is meters (2)
  • extension (string) – Filename extension (default is ‘dis’)
  • unitnumber (int) – File unit number (default is None).
  • filenames (str or list of str) – Filenames to use for the package. If filenames=None the package name will be created using the model name and package extension. If a single string is passed the package will be set to the string. Default is None.
  • xul (float) – x coordinate of upper left corner of the grid, default is None, which means xul will be set to zero.
  • yul (float) – y coordinate of upper-left corner of the grid, default is None, which means yul will be calculated as the sum of the delc array. This default, combined with the xul and rotation defaults will place the lower-left corner of the grid at (0, 0).
  • rotation (float) – counter-clockwise rotation (in degrees) of the grid about the lower- left corner. default is 0.0
  • proj4_str (str) – PROJ4 string that defines the projected coordinate system (e.g. ‘+proj=utm +zone=14 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs ‘). Can be an EPSG code (e.g. ‘EPSG:32614’). Default is None.
  • start_datetime (str) – starting datetime of the simulation. default is ‘1/1/1970’
