Mark then just the first node and set to 0.335. Deactivate Use top value for both. Menu: Conditions->Observation Points Button "Insert", Insert nodes by clicking on the model area with the mouse and pressing left mouse button at 0, 100, 200, 300, and 400 cm depth (coordinates bottom right corner of screen) Menu: File->Save Data Menu: File->Exit Soil Profile - SummaryButton "Next" Execute HYDRUSHit Enter in black window to close Hydrus 1D application View OUTPUT:Hydrus 1D offers a few standard possibilities: Observation Points Time curves at observation points Profile Information Values of pressure, water content, etc. versus depth Water Flow - Boundary Fluxes and Heads Fluxes and variable values at model boundaries Soil Hydraulic Properties Displays functional relations between water content, pressure and hydraulic capacity: Capillary pressure water content curve, hydraulic conductivity water content curve, hydraulic capacity water content curveLook closely at these functions and switch variables at axes. Run Time Information Gives Time step length and iteration number Mass Balance InformationWater mass balanceClose Project Example Output: 2) Parameter Study Copy the file Infiltr1 and the corresponding subdirectory Infiltr1 to file Infiltr2 and subdirectory Infiltr2 (copy and rename) Change the homogeneous material distribution to a heterogeneous material distribution. Geometry Information Number of soil materials: 2 Button "OK" Water flow: soil hydraulic parameters: Enter values for material two by clicking in any field of the second line of the table and by selecting a different material (e.g. sand) from the Catalogue of Soil Hydraulic Properties Time Information: Increase the simulation time to 10 h (= Final time) Print Information: Number of print times: 10 Select print times: 1, 2, , 10 Start PROFILE application(Soil profile graphical editor) Conditions -> Material Distribution Select Edit Condition Select with mouse the area in the model area, where the new material should be, i.e. between 200 and 400 cm depth. Enter corresponding material group. Rerun application and inspect output files. Try different standard parameterisations by using the Catalogue of Soil Hydraulic Properties from Water Flow - Soil Hydraulic Parameters and compare the results obtained. Sometimes you will have to change the time frame, as infiltration will take longer. 3) Drainage of caisson Copy the file Infiltr1 and the corresponding subdirectory Infiltr1 to file Drainage1 and subdirectory Drainage1 (copy and rename) Change the settings, so that drainage can be simulated.
