Latest Release
On September 8, 2007 we posted GFLOW version 2.1.2. Click on GFLOW 2.1.2 Install to download this newest version. Refer to the readme.txt for installation instruction. Click here if you encounter problems running GFLOW on your computer. See also the troubleshooting link under "Information" on the right side of this page. What is GFLOW?
GFLOW is a highly efficient stepwise groundwater flow modeling system developed by Haitjema Software, a subdivision of Haitjema Consulting, Inc. GFLOW is a Windows program based on the analytic element method. It models steady state flow in a single heterogeneous aquifer using the Dupuit-Forchheimer assumption. While GFLOW supports some local transient and three-dimensional flow modeling, it is particularly suitable for modeling regional horizontal flow. To facilitate detailed local flow modeling, GFLOW supports a MODFLOW-extract option to automatically generate MODFLOW files in a user defined area with aquifer properties and boundary conditions provided by the GFLOW analytic element model. GFLOW features conjunctive surface water and groundwater modeling using stream networks with calculated streamflow. The conjunctive solutions may include detailed lake waterbalance modeling. GFLOW also supports freshwater and salt water interface flow. GFLOW provides intergrated parameter optimization by use of PEST or UCODE (these programs are included). What is new in GFLOW?
How to Acquire GFLOW
Try out GFLOW for free by downloading the GFLOW install executable. You will be running the "Educational Version" of GFLOW with some features disabled. If you want to purchase the "Professional Version" of GFLOW click on Order GFLOW and provide the requested information and your preferred method of payment. Upon payment, you will be emailed a "user name" and "unlock key" to change the "Educational Version" on your computer into the "Professional Version". You may also order a GFLOW distribution CD. |

Image Caption (left) GFLOW supports conjunctive groundwater - surface water solutions. In the image, the pumping rates of several wells near a small stream have been doubled. As a result parts of the stream stopped flowing. See screenshot gallery for additional images of GFLOW models and model operation. |
