Provost, A.M., Bardot, K., Langevin, C.D., and McCallum, J.L., 2025, MODFLOW 6 models used to evaluate the accuracy of enhanced cell connectivity for simulation of flow through dipping aquifers: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P13BNARA.

Summary

This data release contains the MODFLOW 6 models described in the related Groundwater journal article (https://doi.org/10.1111/gwat.13459). The models are generalized cross-section models of a hypothetical and idealized aquifer. The models are used to examine the effects of layered or full grid connectivity with and without the XT3D option in the Node Property Flow (NPF) package of MODFLOW 6. The data release contains the models described in the paper, the 6.5.0 binary executable for MODFLOW 6, the 6.5.0 MODFLOW source code, and the Python jupyter notebook and related Python utilities used to generate, run, and post-process the results.

Purpose

MODFLOW 6 was used to evaluate the effects of grid connectivity and underlying flow formulation. The development of the model input and output files included in this data release are documented in a Groundwater journal manuscript (https://doi.org/10.1111/gwat.13459).
