2d groundwater model - map view
From GeoMod
2d map view groundwater model. Currently, you can:
- control the pumping (or recharge) rate of two wells;
- move the wells to any position within the model.
- draw blocks or lines to show grid (including topography)
- show vectors
- particle tracking
- show both particles and their trails
- pause the simulation
The model simulates an unconfined aquifer with uniform properties (conductivity and porosity).
NOTE: Currently uses an explict solution to the governing equation which, given the non-linearity of the watertable equation, you can run into instability problems on occasion.
