This file documents Amanzi code verification of flow simulations for three selected cases: (1) an infinite strip aquifer embedded between two other aquifers, (2) a heterogeneous cylinder (or disc in 2D case) embedded in a background aquifer, and (3) uniform aquifers in bounded domains with fixed heads at the upper- and down-stream directions and no-flow at lateral boundaries. The original FORTRAN codes that solve the analytical solutions for cases (1) and (2) were obtained from Greg Ruskauf. Two modifications were made for compilation on Linux systems: (a) The keyword ‘mode’ in OPEN statements was removed because it is not standard, and (b) variables in COMMON blocks were re-arranged to eliminate a warning message (padding of additional 4 bytes). These codes were compiled using the gfortran compiler on the Linux environment. Note that these analytical solutions were derived for two-dimensional problems only, and therefore in numerical simulations, we used three-dimensional domains with unit thickness for comparison.
