The PORFLOW software package is designed to simulate flow, heat transfer, and mass transport in three-dimensional heterogenous porous and fractured media. Phase change and gas phase flow is included. Radionuclide decay chains of up to four members can be included in transport analyses. The mathematical basis of the model is described in Chapters 2 and 3, the code structure is discussed in Chapters 4 and 5, detailed instructions for the user are in Chapter 6, and a few test problems are in Chapter 7.
