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)
  • Maximum inner iterations (IITER)
  • Outer convergence residual (HCLOSE)
  • Maximum outer iterations (MAXITER) – Also referred to as MXITER.
  • Damping parameter (DAMP)
  • Damping option (IADAMP)
  • Maximum damping (DUP)
  • Minimum damping (DLOW)
  • Maximum head change (CHGLIMIT)
  • Output flag (IOUTGMG)
  • Maximum head output (IUNITMHC)
  • Multi-grid preconditioner smoothing (ISM)
  • Multi-grid preconditioner coarsening (ISC)
  • Relocation parameter (RELAX)
