What it does
- Audience
- USGS says MODFLOW has been widely used by academics, private consultants, and government scientists.checked 14 Nov 2026
- Energy and particle tracking
- GWE simulates thermal energy transport, while PRT calculates advective particle trajectories in flowing groundwater.checked 14 Nov 2026
- Grid support
- GWF models can use regular or unstructured grids; PRT currently supports DIS and DISV, but not DISU grids.checked 14 Nov 2026
- Groundwater flow
- The GWF model simulates three-dimensional transient groundwater flow using a generalized control-volume finite-difference approach.checked 14 Nov 2026
- GUI and visualization
- ModelMuse supports creating, running, and post-processing MODFLOW-based models; ModelViewer visualizes MODFLOW 6 grids and data in 3D.checked 14 Nov 2026
- Legacy conversion
- The distribution includes a converter for MODFLOW-2005, MODFLOW-NWT, and MODFLOW-LGR Version 2 models.checked 14 Nov 2026
- Model coupling
- Models may be independent, exchange information, or be tightly coupled in the same numerical solution.checked 14 Nov 2026
