Call by: SPRING Calculation Balancing...

A flow pattern shows the direction from which water flows into a well, for example. With the help of balancing, additional statements can be made about the rates of water flowing in from a certain direction or feature. The rate is calculated from the flow velocity and the corresponding area through which the water flows:

Q_i = F_i * v_i

The three-dimensional calculation provides depth-differentiated rates depending on the stratification.

Rates flowing over a vertical section

After a model check has been carried out and the steady state flow has been calculated, parts of the model area or the entire model area can be balanced. To do this, the extended velocity field must be saved when calculating the steady state flow. Three functions are available for balancing, which can be selected via the SPRING menu Calculation:
