10.10.1.7 Layer Types
The Layer Type Settings window is used to set the LAYCON value and the LAYAVG variables
required by the MODFLOW numeric engine.
The LAYCON value is the layer-type index array recognized by MODFLOW. MODFLOW has
four different Layer Types to choose for LAYCON values as described below:
Type 0 - Confined: Transmissivity and storage coefficients of the layer are constant for
the entire simulation.
Type 1 - Unconfined: Transmissivity of the layer varies and is calculated from the
saturated thickness and hydraulic conductivity. The storage coefficient is constant;
valid only for Layer 1.
Type 2 - Confined/Unconfined: Transmissivity of the layer is constant. The storage
coefficient may alternate between confined and unconfined values.
Type 3 - Confined/Unconfined: [Default setting] Transmissivity of the layer varies. It is
