Example #7 - Multi-Criteria MODFLOW Calibration

Example of the OSTRICH PADDS and parallel PADDS algorithms

Initial Publication:

Modified:

This example demonstrates the PADDS and parallel PADDS algorithms for multi-criteria calibration of a MODFLOW groundwater model. The aquifer is for a hypothetical “Lodem” watershed and is from a geology course taught by Prof. Chris Lowry at the University at Buffalo. Running the example using OSTRICH.bat will launch the PADDS algorithm in serial (i.e. on a single processor). Running the example using mpirun.bat will launch the parallel ParaPADDS algorithm.
