Hello,

If we use ELEVATIONS OF SOURCES for locating the source point, should we follow the same sign convention as used in bathymetry?

For example, at any source point, the bathy value is -5m(i.e 5m is the exact depth).
Should we use
ELEVATIONS OF SOURCES =-5 (to locate the source point at the bottom)
ELEVATIONS OF SOURCES = 0 (to locate the source point at the top)?


Thanks

Hello,

It is done as the bathymetry, so -5 in your example. However you are not supposed to have a source on the bottom which is impermeable (this will be possible in version 7.1). It may already work however, but local velocities not guaranteed...
