Model grid and grid orientation. Technical report 04-018. Scenario document number DDM-015 Item Info

Design documents are a series of technical papers addressing specific design topics on the eastern Snake River Plain Aquifer Model upgrade. Each design document will contain the following information: topic of the design document, how that topic fits into the whole project, which design alternatives were considered and which design alternative is proposed. In draft form, design documents are used to present proposed designs to reviewers. Reviewers are encouraged to submit suggested alternatives and comments to the design document. Reviewers include all members of the Eastern Snake Hydrologic Modeling (ESHM) Committee as well as selected experts outside of the committee. The design document author will consider all suggestions from reviewers, update the draft design document, and submit the design document to the SRPAM Model Upgrade Program Manager. The Program Manager will make a final decision regarding the technical design of the described component. The author will modify the design document and publish the document in its final form in .pdf format on the SRPAM Model Upgrade web site. Final model documentation will include all of the design documents, edited to ensure that the "as-built" condition is appropriately represented. Numerical models are discretized into a grid of cells. Ground water flow equations are then solved to describe ground water flow between adjacent model cells. Some of the decisions that must be made prior to numerically modeling an aquifer include how best to orient the grid, and the cell dimensions. These are the determinations addressed in this Design Document. In this document discussions will first focus on grid orientation and then cell size.
