Visual MODFLOW Premium Product Details Overview
Logical structure and layout eliminates the difficulties of building the input data file for a groundwater flow and/or transport model by guiding the user through the sequence of steps necessary to build a model.
About The Interface
Specifically designed to increase modeling productivity and decrease complexities typically associated with building three-dimensional groundwater flow
and contaminant transport models.
The interface is divided into three separate modules; Input, Run and Output.
Building The Model
Logical structure and layout eliminates the difficulties of building the input data file for a groundwater flow and/or transport model by guiding the user through the sequence of steps necessary to build a groundwater flow and contaminant transport model.
Running The Simulation
Allows the user to select and modify the various flow and transport run-time options and start the model calculations using the Win32 MODFLOW Suite directly from within the modeling environment.
Power Features
Visual MODFLOW Premium has multiple power features including:
USGS SEAWAT-2000
MGO - Modular Groundwater Optimizer
GMG Solver Implementation
SAMGSolver Implimentation
MNW – Multi-Node Well
Displaying And Interpreting Results
Visual MODFLOW Premium automatically reads the results created from each successful simulation and provides a comprehensive selection of graphical formats for displaying full-color results in plan view and cross-sectional views.
Calibrating The Model
An extensive selection of built-in model calibration plots and statistical summaries give you with all the interpretation capabilities you need to properly and thoroughly analyze the model calibration data.
Simulate heat and solute transport simultaneously or simulate the effect that fluid viscosity variations have on resistance to groundwater flow. Visual MODFLOW Pro 2009.1 now delivers powerful features for simulating three-dimensional variable-density groundwater flow coupled with multi-species solute and heat transport.
Visual MODFLOW Pro 2009.1 enables you to efficiently work on a wide variety of groundwater applications from saltwater intrusion in coastal zones to geothermal activity and heat mining. You can now efficiently:
Analyze coastal aquifers and thermally driven convection in deep aquifers
Simulate storage of freshwater in saline aquifers
Conduct geothermal investigations
Discover the effects of volcanic activities on groundwater and the water table
Model fate of deep well waste injection and aquifer impact
Analyze aquifer thermal/solar energy storage
Examine heat mining from flooded, decommissioned underground mines
Visual MODFLOW Pro 2009.1 in action
Fully backward compatible with datasets created for SEAWAT-2000, Visual MODFLOW Pro 2009.1 is designed to efficiently simulate three-dimensional variable-density groundwater flow coupled with multispecies solute and heat transport.
Temperature species can now be added when defining a new transport variant, allowing you to simulate heat and solute transport simultaneously
Simulate the effect that fluid viscosity variations have on resistance to ground-water flow using the new Viscosity (VSC) Package
Simulate fluid density as a function of temperature and one or more MT3DMS species. You can also specify one of several non-linear equations to represent the dependence of viscosity on temperature
A new option in the simulation settings for the VDF package allows for solving the Variable Density Flow (VDF) equation to update the flow field only if fluid densities have changed by a user-defined value
For the Time-Variant Constant-Head (CHD) package, auxiliary variables can now be used to designate the fluid density value associated with the prescribed head, including simulated density, specified density, and average density
Display temperature color maps and plumes in plan view, cross-section view, or in 3D
At Schlumberger Water Services, our goal is to develop powerful, yet easy-to-use software that meets the needs of groundwater and environmental professionals around the world. Visual MODFLOW is an excellent example of how we have accomplished this goal by making groundwater modeling accessible for any hydrogeologist or engineer who is familiar with the basic concepts and limitations of groundwater modeling.
Professional Applications of Visual MODFLOW Premium:
Predict impacts from saltwater intrusion from over pumping in coastal regions
Delineate well capture zones for municipal drinking water supplies
Design and optimize pumping well locations for dewatering projects
Simulate natural attenuation of contaminated groundwater
Estimate the reductive dechlorination of TCE, PCE and DCE in groundwater
Determine contaminant fate and exposure pathways for risk assessment
A regional-scale groundwater flow model for the Leon-Chinandega aquifer, Nicaragua
Heyddy Calderón Palma and Laurence R. Bentley
Hydrogeology Journal - June 6 2007
Abstract
Groundwater flow in the Leon-Chinandega aquifer was simulated using transient and steady-state numerical models. This unconfined aquifer is located in an agricultural plain in northwest Nicaragua. Previous studies were restricted to MORE...
Vertical migration of municipal wastewater in deep injection well systems, South Florida, USA
Robert G. Maliva, Weixing Guo and Thomas Missimer
Hydrogeology Journal - 24 April 2007
Abstract
Deep well injection is widely used in South Florida, USA for wastewater disposal largely because of the presence of an injection zone (“boulder zone” of Floridan Aquifer System) that is capable of accepting very large quantities of fluids, in some wells over 75,000 m3/day. MORE...

Algebraic Multigrid (AMG) for Ground Water Flow and Oil Reservoir Simulation
Klaus Stüben, Patrick Delaney, Serguei Chmakov
Abstract
A serious bottleneck in performing large-scale numerical simulations is the speed with which the underlying sparse systems of equations can be solved. If these systems exceed a certain size, they can no longer be solved efficiently with standard numerical solvers simply because these solvers are not scalable. MORE...
