In collaboration with the University of Waterloo, SSP&A developed a powerful, state-of-the-art particle tracking software for groundwater models with unstructured grids.
Armed with high-order Runge-Kutta ODE solvers and multi-threading support, mod-PATH3DU is the most powerful particle tracking program available for MODFLOW and MODFLOW-USG.
KEY FEATURES
- Semi-analytical particle tracking algorithm – The Waterloo Method
- Supports all cell geometries available to MODFLOW-USG, including nested grids, quadpatch and quadtree, Voronoi, and triangular
- Implicit weak sink support – accurately track particles in the vicinity of a pumping well
- Uses global coordinates
- MODFLOW (structured, rectangular grid) support
