This is an applied example of seawater intrusion modeling using MODFLOW6 and the BUY package. The model is fully geospatial and works with ESRI Shapefiles and rasters (*.tif) as inputs. The model grid is based on Voronoi meshes generated with the Python package mf6Voronoi.
Since there are so many concepts involved in the conceptualization of a variable density groundwater flow simulation with MODFLOW6 and Flopy, these cases use a code template from mf6Voronoi that simplifies the model construction and simulation. The applied case also gives us the chance to discuss the main parts of model setup.
Instructor
Saul Montoya M.Sc
Hydrogeologist - Numerical Modeler
Mr. Montoya is a Civil Engineer graduated from the Catholic University in Lima with postgraduate studies in Management and Engineering of Water Resources (WAREM Program) from Stuttgart University – Germany with mention in Groundwater Engineering and Hydroinformatics. Mr Montoya has a strong analytical capacity for the interpretation, conceptualization and modeling of the surface and underground water cycle and their interaction. He is in charge of numerical modeling for contaminant transport and remediation systems of contaminated sites. Inside his hydrological and hydrogeological investigations Mr. Montoya has developed an holistic comprehension of the water cycle, understanding and quantifying the main hydrological dynamic process of precipitation, runoff, evaporation and recharge to the groundwater system.
