.txt, .vc, .shp, .xls, .mdb 파일들로부터 불러 올 수 있습니다.

Multiple well screens for a single well are easily accommodated while the pumping rate distribution between layers is automatically calculated based on the transmissivity of the layers through which it is screened.

Observation Wells

Visual MODFLOW Pro is the only MODFLOW modeling environment that allows you to assign multi-level observation wells, just like ones you have in the field. In addition, Visual MODFLOW is the only modeling software package that allows you to group the observation points into one or more observation groups. This grouping feature is used for interpreting the calibration data for an isolated section(s) of your model domain.

Properties

Visual MODFLOW Pro separates the model properties into two distinct categories:

Flow Properties

Those physical model properties affecting the groundwater flow simulation. Flow properties include; hydraulic conductivity (Kx, Ky, and Kz), specific storage (Ss), specific yield (Sy), porosity and initial heads.

Transport Properties

Those physical and chemical model properties affecting the fate, migration and degradation of a contaminant plume in groundwater, or adsorbed to the soil. Transport properties include; dispersion (Dx, Dy and Dz), bulk density, distribution coefficient (Kd), decay constants, initial concentrations.

Import property zones from ESR1 polygon (.SHP) files.

Properties can be interpolated from XYZ ASCII files (TXT), MS Access Database (MDB), MS Excel (XLS), and ESRI Point Shape files (SHP). Interpolation options include Natural Neighbor, Kriging, and Inverse Distance.

Boundary Conditions

MODFLOW boundary conditions supported by Visual MODFLOW Pro include both steady-state and transient Constant Heads, Rivers, General Heads, Drains, Recharge and Evapotranspiration. The Horizontal Flow Barrier package is also supported.

Visual MODFLOW Pro also supports all contaminant transport boundary conditions available for the latest versions of MT3D including MT3DMS for multi-species transport, and RT3D for reactive transport and natural attenuation simulation. These include constant, recharge, or evapotranspiration concentration, and point source.

For transient simulations, real-time schedules of boundary condition values can be entered directly or imported into the time schedule from an ASCII text file. Recharge and evapotranspiration boundary conditions can be imported from ESRI polygon shapefiles.

Particles

Forward or backward tracking particles can be easily assigned for determining advective transport, preferred flow pathways and delineating well capture zones. Visual MODFLOW Pro’s intuitive graphical tools allow you to easily assign single particles, lines of particles and a circle of particles anywhere in your model domain.

Zone Budget

The Zone Budget package allows you to produce zone-to-zone flow summaries for regions of interest in your model domain. Define zone budget flow observations, such as baseflow to a stream, or flux across a boundary, which can be used for calibrating the groundwater flow model against data other than just head measurements. Zone budget observations can be included in WinPEST.

Enviro-Base Pro

Visual MODFLOW Pro now integrates Enviro-Base Pro - an all-in-one database designed to house a variety of referenced property information used when developing groundwater models. Enviro-Base Pro enables you to consolidate your technical references into one package that can be easily launched, searched and updated.

Batch Runs

Visual MODFLOW Pro also now allows you to easily set up a batch file to run several models in succession. This is a very powerful feature that allows you to create several versions of the same model and then run the models while you are doing other tasks.

The Win32 MODFLOW Suite

Visual MODFLOW Pro includes the Win32 MODFLOW Suite with MODFLOW-2000, MODPATH, Zone Budget, MT3DMS and RT3D compiled to run as true Windows, 32-Bit applications. This unique and powerful modeling utility actually provides you with the ability to control the numerical solution process by manipulating the solver parameters and convergence criteria while the solution is in progress. In addition, it provides a real-time graphical display of the solution convergence data and a detailed graphical summary of the Zone Budget results.

After each successful run has completed, the Win32 MODFLOW Suite automatically produces all of the necessary files required for you to analyze and interpret the results, and produce full-color, report-quality graphical presentations using Visual MODFLOW Pro’s post-processing graphical features.

 

Power Features


USGS SEAWAT v.4

SEAWAT is a generic MODFLOW/MT3DMS-based computer program designed to simulate three-dimensional variable-density groundwater flow coupled with multi-species solute and heat transport. The program has been used for a wide variety of groundwater studies including those focused on brine migration in continental aquifers as well as those focused on saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers. SEAWAT uses the familiar structure of MODFLOW and MT3DMS. Thus, most of the commonly used pre and post-processors can be used to create SEAWAT datasets and visualize results.

SEAWAT Version 4 is backward compatible with datasets created for SEAWAT-2000 and, therefore, SEAWAT-2000 is no longer supported or maintained.

MGO - Modular Groundwater Optimizer

Modular Groundwater Optimizer is a simulation optimization software system, that can be used to reduce the costs associated with installing and operating a pump-and-treat remediation system. MGO code can be applied with no or minor modification to a variety of groundwater resource management issues and other types of remediation systems such as bioremediation, optimization of groundwater pump-and-treat systems.

GMG Solver Implementation

The new Geometric Multigrid Solver (GMG) solver from USGS has been integrated with the MODFLOW-2000 and SEAWAT-2000 Engines. GMG is based on the geometric multigrid solver method. The GMG solver has been demonstrated to greatly reduce model run times relative to other solvers using a comparable amount of memory.

MNW - Multi-Node Well

The simulation of pumpage by wells is a fundamental and widely used feature of ground-water models such as MODFLOW. Visual MODFLOW’s new addition, the Multi-Node Well Package, is designed to help simulate wells with well screens that span multiple layers. Now you can accurately simulate pumping wells screened in multiple aquifers.

WinPEST

WinPEST has been seamlessly integrated into Visual MODFLOW Pro to allow you to conveniently select the model parameters you want to optimize, and then easily launch the built-in WinPEST application directly.

WinPEST not only modifies the MODFLOW input data files, it also modifies and updates the Visual MODFLOW Project data files. This makes it much more practical and convenient to re-load your model files once the automated calibration procedure is completed.

Supported parameters for a PEST simulation include flow properties and recharge. You can include head and/or concentration observations, and zone budget observations in the objective function.

During PEST execution, you can view a number of useful pieces of information for displaying and interpreting the PEST simulation results, many of them in real-time graphical form. You can also see how PEST adjusted the values of the parameters during the optimization process.

In all of these plots, Right-Clicking on the graphs and selecting Properties will allow you to alter the appearance of the plots. These plots include:

Objective Function (Phi) Covariance
Composite Sensitivity Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues
