Particle Flux Output

Overview

PARTICLE_FLUX_OUTPUT is a section in the PTM text input that specifies how the PTM records the number of particles in a group of water bodies into a DSS output.

Example

FLUX_OUTPUT
NAME FROM_WB TO_WB INTERVAL FILENAME
TWITCHELL res:clifton_court group:swp 15MIN ${PTMOUTPUTFILE}
EMMATON chan:216 group:cvp 15MIN ${PTMOUTPUTFILE}
DIVERSION_AG group:all group:ag_div 15MIN ${PTMOUTPUTFILE}
END

The PARTICLE_FLUX_OUTPUT table defines how particle flux is recorded between water bodies or groups.

Field Descriptions

  • NAME: This is the name that will go in the B_PART of the output.
  • FROM_WB: Name of the water body or group that is the "from" location of the flux.
  • TO_WB: Name of the water body or group that is the "to" destination in the flux.
  • INTERVAL: Interval at which to record residence.
  • FILENAME: The name of the output file. If the file extension is .dss, output is in DSS format. If the file extension is .txt, a text file output is produced.

Table Info

  • Identifier: NAME

Particle flux output can be in absolute number of particles or percentage of injection. The option is set by PTM_FLUX_PERCENT in the SCALAR section.
