Tutorial for regional groundwater flow modeling with MODFLOW and MODEL MUSE
/
Quick tutorial for the numerical modeling of groundwater flow regime for an andean basin.
Content
This tutorial have these main tasks:
- Define a model extension by shapefile
- Define active zone and inactive zone
- Activate the solver and boundary conditions
- Import a DEM (raster)
- Assign 4 layers: 1 aluvial + 3 Fractured rock
- Define the acuifer type and vertical discretization
- Set the hydraulic parameters
- Check the Modflow Time, check Steady/Transient
- Assign the boundary conditions RCH, EVT, DRN
- Run the model
- Check the global water balancce
- Import results
- Water table on cross section
FloPy is the Python library that builds and executes MODFLOW models; this library has been enhanced to provide full support of MODFLOW 6 with most of its recent development is related to functionality for MODFLOW 6, tools to use vector and raster spatial data and common plotting and export functionality.
