SVFlux is the most powerful and stable finite element groundwater modeling software currently available. The SVFlux software uses the powerful FlexPDE(tm) 1D / 2D / 3D solver which is highly automated. SVFlux allows you to spend your time solving your problem, not designing your mesh. With our automated solver and CAD front end, reductions in modeling time of over 70% are average. Groundwater models may be built as a series of surfaces and layers. Borehole or soil survey data may be used to build each groundwater model resulting in the possibility of extremely complex models. Our comprehensive documentation will get you modeling quickly!

Our software is currently being used by universities and consultants around the world. Mining companies in northern Canada trust SVFlux to model the water flow through tailings piles. Consultants trust SoilVision coupled with SVFlux for the geotechnical evaluation of the Seattle airport expansion. Geotechnical/geoenvironmental engineers, geological engineers, hydrogeologists, and soil scientists will realize a new level of modeling ease with SVFlux.

What is the value of automatic mesh refinement? "Critical cases of water flow such as evaporation near the soil surface and infiltration into initially dry soil profiles typically create local mobile regions with large gradients of water head. Highly nonlinear relationships between hydraulic conductivity and pressure head contribute to very steep wetting fronts during infiltration into initially dry soil. In the vicinity of the wetting front for the initially dry soil, small values of hydraulic conductivity require very large gradients to move even a small amount of water (Pan and Wierenga, 1995). A short distance behind the wetting front, water content increases providing a much higher conductivity and much smaller head gradients. Insufficient local resolution for such cases of water flow can result in numerical oscillation and numerical smearing." (Mansell et al., 2002)

SVFlux is capable of performing steady-state or transient analysis. Soil properties used for analysis are a definition of the soil-water characteristic curve and either a saturated permeability or an unsaturated functional definition of permeability (hydraulic conductivity). Soil-water characteristic (soil moisture retention) curves and saturated or unsaturated hydraulic conductivities (permeabilities) may be determined in a laboratory or estimated using the SoilVision software.

"The SVFlux software is very efficient, flexible and comprehensive. It fits well to different simulations while allowing you to quickly change several parameters without having to rebuild the model."

"Research projects often require the use of raw data from conventional software packages to be incorporated into advanced customized solutions. It is often hard to find commercial software that allows you access to the raw data. SVFlux not only gives you access, it allows you to export the raw data in several user defined formats. This feature has been invaluable in my Ph.D. program."

"The software developed by SoilVision Systems Ltd. for 3D saturated / unsaturated flow is a powerful tool for the analysis and design of reclamation systems for waste rock and mine tailings. Groundwater flow together with fate and transport issues are central to the design of remedial measures. SoilVision has demonstrated the ability to provide 3D solutions for difficult unsaturated flow problems in waste deposits at mine sites that cannot be solved using current software available. I feel that SoilVision offers a key service with respect to the remediation and design of long-term closure systems for mine waste management."
