HUN GW Model code v01

Abstract

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme without the use of source datasets. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.

Computer code and templates used to create the Hunter groundwater model.

Broadly speaking, there are two types of files: those in templates_and_inputs that are template files used by the code; and everything else, which is the computer code itself.

An example of a type of file in templates_and_inputs are all the uaXXXX.txt, which describe the parameters used in uncertainty analysis XXXX.

Much of the computer code is in the form of python scripts, and most of these are run using either preprocess.py or postprocess.py (using subprocess.call). Each of the python scripts employs optparse, and so is largely self documenting. Each of the python scripts also requires an index file as an input, which is an XML file and contains all meta-data associated with the model building process, so that the scripts can discover where the raw data is needed to build the model. The HUN GW Model v01 contains the index file (index.xml) used to build the Hunter groundwater model.

Finally, the "code" directory contains a snapshot of the MOOSE C++ code used to run the model.

Dataset History

Computer code and templates were written by hand.
