Abstract
PMPATH is an advective transport model running independently from PMWIN. PMPATH retrieves the groundwater models and simulation result from PMW1N and MODFLOW. A semi-analytical particle-tracking scheme (Pollock 1988, 1989) is used to calculate the groundwater paths and travel times. Through the interactive graphical modeling environment of PMPATH, you can place particles and perform particle tracking with just a few mouse clicks. While most available particle tracking models need postprocessors for visualization of computed paths and times data, PMPATH calculates and animates the pathlines simultaneously (Fig. 4.1). Moreover, PMPATH provides various on-screen graphical options including head contours, drawdown contours and velocity vectors for any selected model layer and time step.
