Basic Example of Particle Tracking Modeling with Modpath 7 on MODFLOW6 - DISV

Modpath7Modflow6.jpg

In modern times, numerical tools for groundwater modeling are continuosly evolving with more features, new versions, new bugs and backwards incompatibilities. The traditional particle tracking simulation with Modflow and Modpath has to be rewritten based on the latest versions as: Particle tracking simulation with Modflow6 and Modpath7 on Model Muse 4. At this step of software development we can predict that our tutorials and courses will be valid for 3 years or less.

We have developed a tutorial on particle tracking with Modpath7 on grid with local refinement made by the Discretized by Vertices (DISV) option of Modflow6. Model constrution, boundary condition setup, groundwater flow simulation and particle tracking simulation was done on Model Muse 4. Groundwater flow conditions were conceptualized as steady state, and the particle tracking was simulated on forward and backwards tracking direction.
