FEFLOW (Finite Element subsurface FLOW system) is a computer program for

finite element analysis to solve the groundwater flow equation of both saturated and unsaturated conditions as well as mass and heat transport, including fluid density effects and chemical kinetics for multi-component reaction

systems.

History

The software was firstly introduced by Hans-Jörg G. Diersch in 1979, see [1] and.

German Academy of Sciences Berlin up to 1990. In 1990 he was one of the founders of WASY GmbH of Berlin, Germany (the acronym WASY translates from German to Institute for Water Resources Planning and Systems Research), where FEFLOW has been developed further, continuously improved and extended as a commercial simulation package. In 2007 the shares of WASY GmbH were purchased by DHI

. The WASY company has been fused and FEFLOW became part of the DHI Group software portfolio. FEFLOW is being further developed at DHI by an international team. Software distribution and services are worldwide.

Technology

The program is offered in both

64-bit versions for Microsoft Windows and Linux

operating systems.

FEFLOW's theoretical basis is fully described in the comprehensive FEFLOW book.
