Network pathways produce the following outputs:
• the total mass of each species in the pathway;
• the average concentration of each species in the Reference Fluid exiting the pathway; and
• the mass flux of each species for all specified advective Outflows.
These outputs are all vectors by species. Reference Fluid concentrations have dimensions of mass/volume. Fluxes have dimensions of mass/time.
You specify that you wish to save these results in two different places:
1. Species masses in the pathway, concentrations in the Reference Fluid exiting the pathway, and discharges from Watch Groups are saved by clicking Final Values and/or Time History at the bottom of the Network pathway editing dialog:
2. Fluxes are saved by selecting a mass flux link in the Inflows or Outflows tab for a linked pathway and clicking Save Final Values and/or Save Time History at the bottom of the dialog:
If you are running multiple realizations, the Time History box is ignored, and unless an output of the element is connected to a Time History Result element, no time history results will be saved at all for the element. In fact, in such a case, the Save Results section would look like this:
In this particular case, because the simulation involves multiple realizations, the “Time History” checkbox is replaced by a “Monte Carlo Histories” checkbox. This checkbox is grayed out, since it is only used for information purposes. You cannot edit it directly, and its appearance is completely determined by whether or not the output is connected to a Time History Result element. That is, in order to save time history results for a Network output when running multiple realizations, you must connect it to a Time History Result element.
The display units for masses, concentrations and fluxes for all pathways are specified in the Contaminant Transport tab of the Options dialog (accessed via Model | Options… from the main menu):
