NAMMU is a finite-element software package for modelling groundwater flow and transport in porous media. It incorporates full 3D grid generation and post-processing capabilities, and uses one of the most robust and reliable solvers available. It can be used for instance to model:

Groundwater flow in saturated and unsaturated conditions
Anisotropic permeability (arbitrary orientation)
Multiple species contaminant transport, including the effects of advection, dispersion and sorption
Coupled groundwater flow and salt transport with density dependent on concentration
Coupled groundwater flow and heat transport
3D, 2D cross-sectional and 2D areal flows

NAMMU has been developed over a period of more than 15 years, and has been verified extensively. It has been used successfully in many international projects, for example, the HYDROCOIN verification exercise and the INTRAVAL validation exercise. Rigorous tests are applied to each new release. The software is used by companies, universities and government organisations in many countries. It is developed under a quality system that meets the international ISO9001 standard and the TickIT guidelines.

The current release of NAMMU is version 7.2. Licences for NAMMU are available commercially from Serco Assurance. The GeoVisage software is also available commercially from Serco Assurance. The software is available for Windows NT and UNIX. A free 30-day, evaluation license is available on request.

a high performance software package for modelling groundwater flow and transport through porous media

The finite-element method used by NAMMU is ideally suited for accurate modelling of complex geological systems. Grid generation facilities are available for modelling complex geologies incorporating rock sections, fractures, boreholes and engineered features. Local mesh refinement is straightforward. These features enable you to generate models quickly, making full use of all available data.
