MODFLOW-LGR (version 2.0, September 19, 2013), local grid refinement GWM-2005 (version 1.4.2, March 25, 2013), groundwater management capability using optimization MF2005-FMP2 (version 1.0.00, October 28, 2009), estimate dynamically integrated supply-and-demand components of irrigated agriculture as part of the simulation of surface-water and ...
Adaptive multigrid exhibits adaptive mesh refinement, that is, it adjusts the grid as the computation proceeds, in a manner dependent upon the computation itself. [18] The idea is to increase resolution of the grid only in regions of the solution where it is needed.
The original version of Visual MODFLOW, developed for DOS by Nilson Guiguer, Thomas Franz and Bob Cleary, was released in August 1994. It was based on the USGS MODFLOW-88 and MODPATH code, and resembled the FLOWPATH program developed by Waterloo Hydrogeologic Inc. [clarification needed] The first Windows based version was released in 1997. [1]
MODFLOW code discretizes and simulates an orthogonal 3-D form of the governing groundwater flow equation. However, it has an option to run in a "quasi-3D" mode if the user wishes to do so; in this case the model deals with the vertically averaged T and S, rather than k and S s. In the quasi-3D mode, flow is calculated between 2D horizontal ...
MT3D is a family of finite-difference groundwater mass transport modeling software, often used with MODFLOW. The first generation, MT3D, was developed by Chunmiao Zheng in 1990, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] and most recently released by the U.S. Geological Survey with MT3D-USGS.
Steps in numerical modeling. The first step in numerical modeling is to capture the actual geological scenario quantitatively. For example, in mantle convection modeling, heat equations are used to describe the heat energy circulating in the system while Navier–Stokes equations describe the flow of viscous fluid (the mantle rock).
Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) changes the spacing of grid points, to change how accurately the solution is known in that region. In the shallow water example, the grid might in general be spaced every few feet—but it could be adaptively refined to have grid points every few inches in places where there are large waves.
The terms "mesh generation," "grid generation," "meshing," " and "gridding," are often used interchangeably, although strictly speaking the latter two are broader and encompass mesh improvement: changing the mesh with the goal of increasing the speed or accuracy of the numerical calculations that will be performed over it.
