Summary Also known as Model type Modular Model part of larger framework Note on status model Date note status model Technical specs Supported platforms Unix, Linux, Mac OS Other platform Programming language Fortran90, C Other program language Code optimized Multiple processors implemented Nr of distributed processors Nr of shared processors Start year development 1994 Does model development still take place? Yes If above answer is no, provide end year model development Code development status When did you indicate the 'code development status'? Model availability As code Source code availability (Or provide future intension) Through web repository Source web address http://inside.mines.edu/~rmaxwell/maxwell_software.shtml Source csdms web address Program license type LGPL Program license type other Memory requirements depends on problem size Typical run time depends on problem size In/Output Describe input parameters TCL script, many physical and numerical parameters needed. Input format ASCII, Binary Other input format Describe output parameters Many: pressure, saturation, temperature, energy fluxes, flow, etc. Output format ASCII, Binary Other output format Pre-processing software needed? No Describe pre-processing software Post-processing software needed? Yes Describe post-processing software ParFlow comes with a robust, integrated toolkit (pftools) that provides a wide range of postprocessing options. Visualization software needed? Yes If above answer is yes Matlab Other visualization software Visit Process Describe processes represented by the model Processes like: Saturated subsurface flow. Variably-saturated subsurface flow. Integrated overland flow. Land-energy budget. Shallow heat transport. Bio-geochemistry (plant/water interactions). Correlated, Gaussian random field generators. Describe key physical parameters and equations Fully described in manual. Describe length scale and resolution constraints Depends upon application. Describe time scale and resolution constraints Depends upon application. Describe any numerical limitations and issues Depends only on computer resources. Testing Describe available calibration data sets ParFlow contains a directory of test cases that may be automated as a check of the code. Upload calibration data sets if available: Describe available test data sets ParFlow contains a directory of test cases that may be automated as a check of the code. Upload test data sets if available: Describe ideal data for testing -- Other Do you have current or future plans for collaborating with other researchers? Yes, many already in progress. Is there a manual available? Yes Upload manual if available: Model website if any http://inside.mines.edu/~rmaxwell/maxwell_software.shtml Model forum / discussion board Comments Introduction History Papers Issues Help Input Files Output Files Download http://inside.mines.edu/~rmaxwell/maxwell_software.shtml Source http://inside.mines.edu/~rmaxwell/maxwell_software.shtml
