This manual provides instructions for the use of the PORFLO-3 computer code. This computer code is based on mathematical formulation of fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transport in variably saturated geologic media. The geologic medium may be heterogeneous and anisotropic and may contain linear and planar features such as boreholes and fractures. The code can be used to analyze three-dimensional problems involving partially as well as fully saturated media with various types of fluid, heat and mass sources. The PORFLO-3 computer code is written in American National Standard Fortran 77.
