ESI Ltd, in conjunction with DHI and WASY, is pleased to announce a new training course on FEFLOW. This course gives an introduction to groundwater modelling using the simulation system FEFLOW. On the basis of an example, delegates build up a three-dimensional flow and transport model applying the most important program functions (preprocessing, simulation, results evaluation).

FEFLOW is a finite element software package for modelling fluid flow and transport of dissolved constituents and/or heat transport processes in the ground. The finite element discretisation enables the user to build complex unstructured meshes that closely match natural structures while obeying the requirements such as element size, element angles, etc.

The main topics covered in the course are:
• Introduction to flow and mass transport simulation
• Physical and mathematical basis of the modelling using FEFLOW
• Introduction to the FEFLOW Graphical User Interface
• Setting up a 2D and 3D flow model by using (GIS-) data interfaces
• Extension to a transport model
• Pre and post processing
• Automatic parameter determination with PEST
• Map layout with FEPLOT
