Create a circular area-sink analytic element with specified recharge
Description
areasink()
creates a circular area-sink analytic element with constant, uniform specified recharge.
Usage
areasink(xc, yc, N, R, location = c("top", "base"), ...)
Arguments
xc |
numeric, x location of the center of the area-sink. |
yc |
numeric, y location of the center of the area-sink. |
N |
numeric, uniform constant leakage value (positive is into aquifer) in length per time. |
R |
numeric, radius of the circular area-sink. |
location |
character, either |
... |
ignored |
Details
Area-sinks can be used to simulate areal recharge or seepage at the aquifer top, or leakage into
or out of the aquifer at its base. The location
argument is used when calculating the vertical flow
component.
Value
Circular area-sink analytic element which is an object of class areasink
and inherits from element
.

Examples
as <- areasink(xc = -500, yc = 0, N = 0.001, R = 500)
# flux assuming a constant head difference over a confining unit
dh <- 3
res <- 10 / 0.0001
as <- areasink(xc = -500, yc = 0, N = -dh/res, R = 500, location = 'base')
