Advanced groundwater modeling with FEFLOW
1 de October de 2019 - 08:30 - 4 de October de 2019 - 17:30
R$3.100
Water Services and Technologies in partnership with DHI offer this practical 4-day course to participants to develop advanced groundwater modeling skills. The software used, FEFLOW, is one of the most powerful tools available today for simulating the flow and transport of contaminants in porous and fractured media, being able to simulate both the saturated and unsaturated zones. It also enables simulation with varying densities, allowing analysis of saline wedge intrusion and heat transport.
Applications covered include:
- Flow modeling in porous and fractured media
- Flow in the unsaturated zone
- Saline intrusion modeling
- Automatic calibration strategies using PEST
- Specific topics can be deepened depending on the demand
The advantages of using the finite element method will be demonstrated to represent environments with complex geologies and when it is intended to model hydrogeological components such as faults, fractures, wells, tunnels and other structures.

He is currently a managing partner at Water Services and Technologies and professor of undergraduate and graduate courses at the Federal University of Santa Catarina.
Localization
The city of Florianópolis was elected as the most touristic capital in the country. The course will be offered in the North of the Island, one of the most sought after destinations in the region. The training center offers comfortable facilities surrounded by natural beauty, allowing focused learning, away from the daily work routine.
