Worked MODFLOW Case: Dupuit Fixed Head 1D#

This page keeps the scientific worked-case anchor for the 1D Dupuit fixed-head example. The executable gallery case is:

Use it as a compact MODFLOW-family sanity check:

  • simple geometry and boundary-condition semantics;

  • direct interpretation of hydraulic head against a known conceptual profile;

  • useful baseline before moving to transient or natural-basin comparisons.

For comparison workflows, read output fields with the standard temporal conventions:

  • head-like variables are state snapshots;

  • budget-like variables are period values;

  • reduced rows are aggregate diagnostics.
