Irregular Mesh Conductivity Mapping#

Note

This page and its static assets are auto-generated by python -m tools.doc_gallery. The Sphinx build only reads committed PNG and JSON artifacts.

This case reuses the synthetic square field but maps it onto an irregular triangular mesh alongside a structured baseline. The comparison highlights how the same property definition behaves on irregular supports.

Hydraulic conductivity mapped on structured and irregular triangular meshes
Structured versus irregular triangular conductivity maps for the same field.

Case Setup#

  • Unit-square domain split into granite and micaschist zones.

  • Structured baseline generated with 64 target cells.

  • Irregular triangular mesh generated with a fixed random seed.

What It Shows#

  • How heterogeneous K values transfer onto an irregular triangular mesh.

  • How the same field looks on a structured baseline for visual comparison.

  • How irregular supports preserve zone contrasts while adapting to stochastic cell layout.

Key Metrics#

  • Structured cells: 64

  • Irregular cells: 160

  • Minimum K: 2.5 m/day

  • Maximum K: 12.0 m/day
