Introduction to Subsurface Flow and Transport Modelling

This 3-day hands-on course provides you with an introduction to groundwater modelling using FEFLOW. On the basis of a case study you build a three-dimensional flow and transport model applying the most important programme functions, including pre-processing, simulation and result evaluation. You learn the basic concepts of the software, and the theoretical background of different modelling approaches is explained. The course is aimed at groundwater professionals in consulting, research and public authorities. You are expected to have a basic knowledge in computer application as well as in groundwater modelling.

Topics

• Introduction to FEFLOW and its graphical user interface
• Creating 2D and 3D mesh geometries
• Setting up flow models with confined and unconfined aquifers
• Setting up transport models
• Steady-state and transient models
• Usage of GIS-/CAD- data interfaces
• Results evaluation
• Visualization and animation
• Case studies
• Hands on exercises
