SEAWAT is a three dimensional variable density groundwater flow and transport model developed by the USGS based on MODFLOW and MT3DMS. SEAWAT v4 is based on MODFLOW 2000 and MT3DMS 5.2. SEAWAT includes two additional packages: Variable-Density Flow (VDF) and Viscosity (VSC). A complete description of SEAWAT is beyond the scope of this reference manual. It is assumed that the reader has a basic knowledge of SEAWAT and has read the SEAWAT documentation.

GMS supports SEAWAT as a pre- and post-processor. The interface to SEAWAT relies on the interface to MODFLOW and MT3DMS. The input data for SEAWAT is generated by GMS and saved to a set of files including a MODFLOW model, an MT3D model if transport is used, and a SEAWAT model pointing to the MODFLOW and MT3D model's package files. These files are then read by SEAWAT and executed, and real/actual head values are output by SEAWAT v4 (whereas SEAWAT v2 outputs equivalent freshwater heads). SEAWAT uses the MODFLOW and MT3D interfaces for boundary condition display and for post-processing which explains why many of the output files are saved as MODFLOW or MT3DMS files as shown in the Output Files table below.

The SEAWAT model can be added to a paid edition of GMS.

Importing a SEAWAT Simulation

An existing SEAWAT v4 model can be imported into GMS by opening the name file which must have a ".nam" extension. Upon opening the name file, GMS uses the name file to determine if the simulation is MODFLOW-2000, MODFLOW-2005, or a SEAWAT simulation based on the packages included.

Once the import is complete, if the model includes transport packages or the VDF or VSC packages then a SEAWAT model is automatically created inside GMS.

If the model only includes MODFLOW packages, then the SEAWAT model needs to be created by enabling the SEAWAT model interface by selecting SEAWAT in the Model Interfaces dialog available under the Edit menu, and then selecting New Simulation under the SEAWAT menu.
