This tutorial will guide you through how to create a simple material using the linear parallel bond-model.
In this tutorial we will go over meshing, from the creation of a 2D mesh and how to import it to MINEDW, to the inclusion of topography, layers, and pinch-outs to different areas of interest in the model.
Numerical models are now used routinely to predict ground-water inflows to both surface and underground mines and to help design dewatering systems.
Hydraulic testing using wireline deployed water-inflated packers is becoming a common practice for groundwater characterization at mining sites.
