The GMG package is one of the solver packages for MODFLOW supported by GMS. The GMG solver is an iterative solver based on a multi-grid approach.

Parameters include:

  • Inner convergence residual (RCLOSE) – The algorithm computes the l2-norm of the residual and compares it against RCLOSE.
  • Maximum inner iterations (IITER) – For each linear solution. The default is 100. Specify a smaller number for nonlinear problems to prevent an excessive number of inner iterations.
  • Outer convergence residual (HCLOSE) – For nonlinear problems. After each linear solve (inner iteration), the maximum norm of the head change is compared against HCLOSE. Can be set to a large number for linear problems. Ignored if Maximum outer iterations is 1.
  • Maximum outer iterations (MAXITER) – Also referred to as MXITER. For linear problems, set to 1. For nonlinear problems, set to a higher number though it is usually unnecessary to go above 100.
  • Damping parameter (DAMP) – A value of 1.0 should be used for linear problems. For nonlinear problems, a value less than 1.0 but greater than 0.0 may be necessary to achieve convergence.
  • Damping option (IADAMP) – Flag that controls adaptive damping. Contains the following options:
    • "(0) Constant"
    • "(1) Cooley adaptive"
    • "(2) RRR adaptive"
  • Maximum damping (DUP)
  • Minimum damping (DLOW)
  • Maximum head change (CHGLIMIT)
  • Output flag (IOUTGMG) – Flag that controls the output of the GMG solver. Values can be 0–4.
    • 0 = Only the solver inputs are printed.
    • 1 = For each linear solve, prints the number of PCG iterations, the value of the damping parameter, the l2-norm of the residual, and the maximum norm of the head change and its location (column, row, layer). At the end of a time/stress period, the total number of GMG calls, PCG iterations, and a running total of PCG iterations for all time/stress periods are printed.
    • 2 = The convergence history of the PCG iteration is printed, showing the l2-norm of the residual and the convergence factor for each iteration.
    • 3 = Same as 1 except the output is sent to the terminal instead of the output file.
    • 4 = Same as 2 except the output is sent to the terminal instead of the output file.
  • Maximum head output (IUNITMHC)
  • Multi-grid preconditioner smoothing (ISM)
  • Multi-grid preconditioner coarsening (ISC)
  • Relocation parameter (RELAX)
