Paul Ferguson Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Hello,I've been using the Horizontal Flow Barrier (HFB) package to prevent groundwater flow across a 10-m barrier. My understanding is that I cannot use the HFB package to simulate flow along a more permeable fault/fracture zone of the same width so, I'm wondering if there is a similar package that I can use to represent the fault (i.e. via its own coverage) or if I should just modify K values within a layer to represent the fault.Thanks!Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydrology Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 What would happen if you made the hydraulic characteristic for the barrier very large? I have never tried it, but food for thought. It may just make the barrier ineffective and you just have your existing layer conductivities moving the water.
