Mass Source
The
Mass Source
node adds a mass source
Q
m
, which appears on the right-hand side of the Darcy’s Law equation (
Equation 7-1
).
(7-9)
For the Fracture Flow interface, the mass source is applicable to the right-hand side of
Equation 4-40
in the
Subsurface Flow Module User’s Guide
(where it is multiplied with the fracture thickness).
