Steady multi-layer AEM Model

TimML, A Multi-Layer, Analytic Element Model

Introduction

TimML is a computer program for the modeling of steady-state multi-layer flow with analytic elements and consists of a library of Python scripts and FORTRAN extensions. TimML may be applied to an arbitrary number of aquifers and leaky layers. The head, flow, and leakage between aquifers may be computed analytically at any point in the aquifer system. The design of TimML is object-oriented and has been kept simple and flexible. New analytic elements may be added to the code without making any changes in the existing part of the code. TimML is coded in Python and uses numba to speed up evaluation of the bessel line elements.
