Starting at GMS version 8.2, GMS supports MODFLOW-NWT. MODFLOW-NWT is a version of MODFLOW based on MODFLOW-2005 that provides a different formulation of the groundwater flow equation designed to solve models that are non-linear due to unconfined cells or non-linear boundary conditions.

Choosing MODFLOW Version

Choosing to use MODFLOW 2000, MODFLOW 2005, or MODFLOW-NWT is done in the MODFLOW Global Options Dialog. At any time you can switch from one to the other.

Source code differences between MODFLOW 2005 and MODFLOW-NWT.

  1. UPW Package
  1. NWT Solver
  1. WEL Package
  • The WEL package was modified to add an option to decrease the pumping rate as the head drops below a user-specified percentage of cell thickness. The new option is called PHIRAMP.
  1. SFR Package
  • The SFR package is modified to avoid removing water from dry cells and to calculate derivatives for the Newton formulation.
  1. UZF Package
  • The UZF package is modified to avoid removing water from dry cells and to calculate derivatives for the Newton formulation.
  1. Other Packages
  • Poor input values for other packages can result in convergence failure. For example, an EVT extinction depth below the cell bottom elevation can result water being improperly removed from a dry cell.
