Abstract
3D Visualization of MODFLOW Groundwater Model Results
Track: Water Resources
Author(s): Bruce Rindahl, Monique Ammidown
This paper describes tools and methods to display results of the MODFLOW groundwater model developed by the USGS. Various methods of display are presented including animated 3D visualization of the groundwater structure; cell by cell quantification of flow in the model; mass balance comparisons of different categories of flow into and out of each model cell; and methods of quantifying flow between rows, columns, or layers by individual cells, areas, or the entire model. The use of ArcView and the ArcView Spatial Analyst and ArcView 3D Analyst extensions described as well as exporting finished simulations to animated presentations such as .avi files and PowerPoint.
