Flonet: Two-dimensional Steady-state Flownet Generator

DESCRIPTION

FLONET is a package for the analysis of groundwater flows in two dimensions and in steady-state conditions. It employs a finite element scheme to compute path lines and potentials using a dual formulation of the ground water flow problem. It works in saturated conditions and over a triangular mesh. Boundary conditions can be of constant head or constant flux.

The model is integrated into a package that offer CAD-like fetures for data manipulation and extensive graphic capabilities for output visualization.
