SUTRA: A Model for 2D or 3D Saturated-Unsaturated, Variable-Density Ground-Water Flow With Solute or Energy Transport
Overview of SUTRA
SUTRA is a model for saturated-unsaturated, variable-density ground-water flow with solute or energy transport. SUTRA Version 3.0 includes generalized boundary conditions, a modified implementation of specified pressures and concentrations or temperatures, and the lake capability. SUTRA Version 2.2 allows specification of time-dependent boundary conditions without programming FORTRAN code, and offers optional output files that summarize specifications and computed results at boundary condition nodes. SUTRA Version 2.1 allows the use of irregular meshes in both 2D and 3D simulations and offers convenient incorporation of input data from separate files, greater user control over time stepping, and
