Why FEFLOW?
The environmental industry has seen a dramatic
increase in the application of numerical modeling
techniques for simulating groundwater flow and
contaminant transport. Many models, such as
USGS's MODFLOW and MODPATH, and the popular
contaminant transport program MT3D, have become
almost worldwide standards. However, when faced
with projects involving complex topography,
complicated geology, fractures, unsaturated flow,
density-dependent flow, or thermal convection,
MODFLOW models may not be suitable.
FEFLOW is an advanced 3D finite element modeling
solution offering sophisticated analysis tools and
robust numerical algorithms. FEFLOW is designed
with an easy-to-use graphical interface giving you all
the qualities necessary for simulating:
> Transient or steady-state flow
> Saturated and unsaturated flow
> Density-dependent flow
> Multiple water tables
> Mass transport and heat transport
> Multi-species reactive transport
> Fracture flow
