The software is designed to analyze both saturated and unsaturated flow through the ground through the solving of Richard's equation.
The program is used in the fields of civil engineering and hydrology in order to analyze seepage and groundwater regional flow.
SVFLUX makes use of a general finite element solver to solve the Richards equation for both saturated and unsaturated flow.
The software has been used on large projects including the Questa Weathering Study which examined the flow regime through waste rock piles.
The geometry is simply entered as regions which may be drawn, pasted in from Excel, or imported from AutoCAD DXF files.
