MODFLOW Core Versions

Capabilities in the Current Release This current MODFLOW 6 release synthesizes many of the capabilities in existing MODFLOW variants: MODFLOW-2005 — the GWF Model contains revisions of the commonly used flow packages, stress packages, and advanced stress packages MODFLOW-NWT — the GWF Model supports an optional Newton-Raphson approach for water table aquifers MODFLOW-USG — GWF Models can be developed using regular MODFLOW grids or unstructured grids MODFLOW-LGR — any number of GWF Models can be specified for a single simulation; these GWF Models are tightly coupled at the matrix level MODFLOW-CDSS — multiple stress and advanced stress packages of the same type can be specified for a single GWF Model MT3D/MT3D-USGS — the GWT Model simulates solute transport for a single chemical species SEAWAT — the GWF Model contains a Buoyancy Package for simulating variable-density groundwater flow. Fluid density can be calculated from concentrations in a coupled GWT Model MODPATH 7 – the PRT Model simulates advective particle tracking in a groundwater flow field For MODFLOW users with existing models, the MODFLOW 6 distribution includes a conversion program that will translate a MODFLOW-2005, MODFLOW-NWT, or MODFLOW-LGR (Version 2) model into the MODFLOW 6 format.
