The Newton package (NWT) is one of the solvers available in MODFLOW-NWT. The NWT package is only used with the UPW Package. Using the NWT solver requires twice the memory of other MODFLOW solvers because using the Newton method results in an asymmetric matrix. Because of the asymmetric matrix a different matrix solver must be used. The NWT package provides an option to use one of two matrix solvers: a generalized-minimum-residual (GMRES) solver and an Orthomin/stabilized conjugate-gradient solver called xMD (chi-MD).

  • Comments (Text)
  • Max head change between outer iterations (L)(HEADTOL)
  • Max root-mean-squared flux difference between outer iterations (L^3/T) (FLUXTOL)
  • Max number of iterations allowed for outer problem (MAXITEROUT)
  • Portion of cell thickness used for adjusting coefficients to zero (THICKFACT)
  • Matrix solver to be used (LINMETH)
  • Print additional info to listing file (IPRNWT)
  • Correct head relative to cell-bottom if surrounded by d-watered cells (IBOTAV)
  • Options (OPTIONS)

For more information on the NWT package see the USGS documentation at: water.usgs.gov/nrp/gwsoftware/modflow2000/MFDOC/nwt_newton_solver.htm
