Update: International Conference on Analytic Element Method, May 31 - June 2, 2013, Golden, CO

Professor Otto Strack of the University of Minnesota is pleased to announce the 6th International Conference on the analytic Element Method. The conference will be held May 31 through June 2,2012 on the Colorado School of Mines campus in Golden, Colorado. Abstracts are being solicited at

Abstracts will be reviewed by the scientific advisory committee and both oral and poster presentation will be published in electronic form in the conference proceedings. Abstracts are due by midnight (CST) March 1, 2013 and selection of papers will be announced by March 16, 2012. Due date for final presentations for inclusion in the conference proceedings is May 15, 2013.

AnAqSimEdu - new free educational version of AnAqSim (analytic aquifer simulator).

AnAqSimEdu was developed as a supplement to the 2nd edition of the textbook Groundwater Science, to be published by Elsevier. AnAqSimEdu simulates single-layer steady flow with confined, unconfined, and interface domains. Allows heterogeneity and anisotropy. Line boundaries include: head-specified, normal flux-specified, river, interdomain. Nice user interface. Available at this link:

Fitts Geosolutions offers new analytic element software

AnAqSim (Analytic Aquifer Simulator) is groundwater flow modeling software based on an analytic element approach that divides the modeled region into subdomains (Fitts, 2010, Water Resources Research). It uses finite difference time steps to offer complete transient capabilities. AnAqSim handles multi-layer (3D) flow and also does fresh/salt water interface flow. AnAqSim is much more powerful and versatile than earlier analytic element programs like TWODAN (previous Fitts Geosolutions software).
