Bluebird/Cardinal

Bluebird/Cardinal is a c++ AEM code for simulation of flow and transport in single layer piecewise-homogeneous aquifers. It supports ~20 elements that represent the influence of wells, surface water features, and heterogeneous properties (base elevation and conductivity). It is the primary numerical engine for Visual Bluebird.
