I have Richard's equation model with two no flow boundaries on sides of square with top boundary as pressure head at 0.00001 m and bottom boundary as pressure head at 0 m . Model has initial conditions of pressure 0.001 pascal also with fracture thickness of 0.2 mm for fracture flow.
Now i need to plot a graph with flux over time. I have searched in 1-D plot group , but there is no option for flux over time for Richard's equation.
thanks

Hi Muhammad,

Richards' equation physics (usually labelled 'dl') stores values for density and velocity fields, so if you want to see the flux on a boundary you have to type

dl.rho*dl.u (for horizontal flux)
dl.rho*dl.v (for vertical flux)

I hope this can help you!

Hi Tommaso
thanks for the tip it worked. As i wanted to have it in m^3/s so i used this expression by using boundary integration method and global evaluation.
intop1(dl.v*dl.D)
