Fault Zone Groundwater Flow Modeling with MODFLOW6 DISV and Model Muse -Tutorial

Conceptualization and simulation of groundwater flow in the area of influence of geological faults is really a challenge for numerical modelers. Besides the complexities and variety of faults there were some limitations of the numerical codes to simulate the mixed behaviour of faults and altered zones. We have developed an example tutorial to represent the main characteristics of groundwater flow in the fault zone for an applied case. The tutorial is developed in Model Muse with the MODFLOW DISV option for unstructured grid generation. Groundwater flow was analyzed on the water balance and a particle tracking simulation was done with MODPATH 7.
