This document provides an introduction and overview of the FEFLOW software for modeling groundwater and related subsurface processes. FEFLOW can model variably saturated groundwater flow as well as heat, contaminant and density-dependent transport. It aims to be both easy to use for everyday projects while also powerful enough for complex simulations. FEFLOW uses finite elements to model complex geometries and physics in 2D or 3D. It provides visualization, an open programming interface, and fields of application including regional groundwater management, construction, and geothermal energy.

FEFLOW More than Groundwater
FEFLOW handles groundwater flow and related processes in one software environment, one user interface, and one simulation model:
Variably saturated flow
Contaminant transport Heat transport Density-affected flow Chemical reactions And more ...
www.dhi-wasy.de
FEFLOW More than Groundwater
Primary development goal:
FEFLOW is intented to be
Easy to use and intuitive
to
quickly master everyday
groundwater projects, but at the same time
Powerful and comprehensive
to model complex subsurface processes.

Application Examples
1. Optimization of landscape water regime
2. Construction of an underground liquefied natural-gas storage system
www.dhi-wasy.de
Agricultural Development Planning
Glietzener Polder, Germany
www.dhi-wasy.de
Objectives Concept for landscape water regime that accommodates agricultural, environmental, and general landscape water balance goals:
Improvement of agricultural conditions
Sustainment of low-water discharge, securing of minimum discharge in low-water periods Improvement of groundwater and surface water quality Flood protection Improvement of the ecological role of water bodies
www.dhi-wasy.de
Conflicting Objectives
Agriculture
Environment Potential for conflict
Landscape water balance www.dhi-wasy.de
Approach 1. Calculation of groundwater and surface water levels applying a coupled 2. 3. 4.
GW-SW model for different system states
Calculation of depth to groundwater using the groundwater levels and a DEM Intersection of depth to groundwater with defined target levels, definition of areas of conflict Simulation of scenarios lowering the potential for conflict, using the target levels as goal for future planning

Target Compliance, Initial State (March)
too dry too wet acceptable
www.dhi-wasy.de
Planned Measures
Modification of target water levels for pumping stations
Adaptation of structures, change of storage levels Installation of weirs and low weirs (ground sills) Desludging of ditches Closure of Altreetz pumping station Neue Stauer Gabow
Boundary Conditions Flow (Hydraulic head) Dirichlet condition along coastline No-flow (zero-value Neumann) condition elsewhere Transport (Solute concentration) Dirichlet (fixed-concentration) condition for infiltrating seawater along coastline Zero-value Neumann condition for fluid leaving domain along coastline Impermeability condition elsewhere www.dhi-wasy.de
Boundary Condtions
Internal surfaces of the structure are treated as
Seepage face Dirichlet condition of fixed atmospheric pressure for outwarding-pointing head gradient No-flow (zero-value Neumann) condition otherwise
www.dhi-wasy.de
Transient Boundary Conditions
Simulation requires successive activation of seepageface B.C.s as construction progresses. New B.C.s must continuously be introduced during the simulation. Solution: Seepage-face activation via a separate module using the FEFLOW Open Programming Interface: arbitrary node groups and activation intervals arbitrary pressure import capability from ASCII files saves all information with the problem file
