'' Use data arrays '' | |||
:This option allows entering conductivities on a layer-by-layer basis. When this option is chosen, the '''Horizontal Hyd. Conductivity''', '''Vertical Hyd. Conductivity''' and '''Horizontal Anisotropy''' buttons will be available. | |||
This | '' Use material ids '' | ||
:This options uses material sets in the place of property arrays. Property values are entered on a material-by-material basis. When MODFLOW files are saved, GMS internally replaces the correct values from the materials to the property arrays. When this option is chose, the property array buttons are replaced with the [[GMS:Materials|'''Material Properties''']] and [[GMS:MODFLOW_Array_Editor#Material_ID_Legend|'''Material IDs''']] buttons. | |||
''Layer'' | |||
:This field displays the current layer. Selecting any of the input array buttons will display the corresponding layer initially. For multiple layer models, this field can be incremented or decremented to show other layers. | |||
This | ''Layer type'' | ||
:This radio group selects the layer type for the current layer. By default, all layers are convertible (where the layer can be either confined or unconfined depending on the elevation of the computed water table). Here layer type can be changed to confined, convertible, convertible negative, and convertible upstream. Only one layer type can be assigned to each grid layer. | |||
''Vertical hydraulic conductivity'' | |||
:The UPW package has the option to enter vertical hydraulic conductivity values as either actual hydraulic conductivity values or as anisotropy factors dependant on horizontal hydraulic conductivity. Vertical anisotropy (VKA) "is the ratio of horizontal to vertical hydraulic conductivity. In this case, HK is divided by VKA to obtain VK, and values of VKA typically are greater than or equal to 1.0."<ref> | |||

''Interblock transmissivity'' | |||
:The method used for computing interblock transmissivity is specified using the pull-down list in the middle right portion of the ''UPW Package'' dialog. The pulldown list includes, Harmonic Mean, Log Mean, and Arith t X log(k). | |||
'''More UPW Options''' | |||
:Clicking on the '''More UPW Options''' button brings up the ''UPW Package Options'' dialog where it is possible to remove vertical leakance correction or set a head value for dry cells. | |||

The seven buttons in the middle-right portion of the dialog represent layer data arrays such as elevations and hydraulic conductivity. Each of the seven buttons brings up the [[GMS:MODFLOW Array Editor|''MODFLOW Array Editor'']]. Not all of the data arrays need to be specified for each layer.

Some arrays such as [[GMS:BCF_Package#Storage coefficients|specific storage]] and [[GMS:BCF_Package#Storage coefficients|specific yield]] are only required for transient models. | ||
