Groundwater Modeling of Faults and Fractures with Modflow6 - Disv on Model Muse

With Model Muse and MODFLOW6 DISV you can model faults and fractures having small cells close to the fracture alignment. In order to achieve small cell sizes close to the fracture aligment the normal MODFLO6 discretization schema (columns and rows) creates a series of unused/unwanted cells, but MODFLOW6 came with two new discretization options that allow us to have local refinements close to areas of interest decreasing the total amount of cells and thus the decreasing computational time. One of the new MODFLOW6 discretization types DISV is implemented on Model Muse. This webinar covers an applied case of regional groundwater modeling with a group of regional fractures that define areas of small cell size. The applied case covers the construction of a groundwater model with a refinement that ranges from 100m on the outer parts of the model to 15 meters in the area close to the faults.

Instructor / 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.
