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).
