Introduction

FloPy includes support for MODFLOW 6, MODFLOW-2005, MODFLOW-NWT, MODFLOW-USG, and MODFLOW-2000. Other supported MODFLOW-based models include MODPATH (version 6 and 7), MT3DMS, MT3D-USGS, and SEAWAT.

For general modeling issues, please consult a modeling forum, such as the MODFLOW Users Group. Other MODFLOW resources are listed in the MODFLOW Resources section.

Documentation

Installation

FloPy requires Python 3.8+ with:

numpy >=1.15.0,<2.0.0
matplotlib >=1.4.0
pandas >=2.0.0

Dependencies for optional features are summarized here.

To install type:

conda install -c conda-forge flopy

or

pip install flopy

The release candidate version can also be installed from the git repository using the instructions provided below.

After FloPy is installed, MODFLOW and related programs can be installed using the command:

get-modflow :

See the docs for more information.

Getting Started

MODFLOW 6 Quick Start

import flopy
ws = './mymodel'
name = 'mymodel'
sim = flopy.mf6.MFSimulation(sim_name=name, sim_ws=ws, exe_name='mf6')
tdis = flopy.mf6.ModflowTdis(sim)
ims = flopy.mf6.ModflowIms(sim)
gwf = flopy.mf6.ModflowGwf(sim, modelname=name, save_flows=True)
dis = flopy.mf6.ModflowGwfdis(gwf, nrow=10, ncol=10)
ic = flopy.mf6.ModflowGwfic(gwf)
npf = flopy.mf6.ModflowGwfnpf(gwf, save_specific_discharge=True)
chd = flopy.mf6.ModflowGwfchd(gwf, stress_period_data=[[(0, 0, 0), 1.],
                                                       [(0, 9, 9), 0.]])
budget_file = name + '.bud'
head_file = name + '.hds'
oc = flopy.mf6.ModflowGwfoc(gwf,
                            budget_filerecord=budget_file,
                            head_filerecord=head_file,
                            saverecord=[('HEAD', 'ALL'), ('BUDGET', 'ALL')])
sim.write_simulation()
sim.run_simulation()

head = gwf.output.head().get_data()
bud = gwf.output.budget()

spdis = bud.get_data(text='DATA-SPDIS')[0]
qx, qy, qz = flopy.utils.postprocessing.get_specific_discharge(spdis, gwf)
pmv = flopy.plot.PlotMapView(gwf)
pmv.plot_array(head)
pmv.plot_grid(colors='white')
pmv.contour_array(head, levels=[.2, .4, .6, .8], linewidths=3.)
pmv.plot_vector(qx, qy, normalize=True, color="white")

Additional FloPy Resources

  • FloPy tutorials and scripts demonstrating the use of FloPy to run and post-process MODFLOW-based models.

  • FloPy example notebooks demonstrating the use of FloPy pre- and post-processing capabilities with a variety of MODFLOW-based models.

  • MODFLOW 6 example problems demonstrating FloPy use to create, run, and post-process MODFLOW 6 models.

  • A list of supported packages in FloPy is available in docs/supported_packages.md on the github repo.

  • A table of the supported and proposed model checks implemented in FloPy is available in docs/model_checks.md on the github repo.

  • A summary of changes in each FloPy version is available in docs/version_changes.md on the github repo.

Questions

FloPy usage has been growing rapidly, and as the number of users has increased, so has the number of questions about how to use FloPy. We ask our users to carefully consider the nature of their problem and seek help in the appropriate manner.

Do not open issues for general support questions. We want to keep GitHub issues for bug reports and feature requests. General support questions are better answered in the Discussions on the FloPy GitHub repository. Stack Overflow and the MODFLOW google group are other options but currently neither of these are as active as Discussions on the FloPy GitHub repository. If using Stack Overflow, questions should be tagged with tag flopy.

To save your and our time, we will systematically close all issues that are requests for general support and redirect people to Stack Overflow or the MODFLOW google group.

Contributing

Bug reports, code contributions, or improvements to the documentation are welcome from the community. See the developer docs to begin. Please also read up on our guidelines for contributing and check out our issues in the hotlist: community-help.
