PORFLOW is a comprehensive computer program for simulation of transient or steady state flow, heat, salinity and mass transport in multi-phase, variably saturated, porous or fractured media with dynamic phase change. The geometry may be 2D or 3D, Cartesian or cylindrical, the porous/fractured media may be anisotropic and heterogeneous, arbitrary sources of sinks (injection or pumping wells) may be present and, chemical reactions or radioactive decay may take place. It accommodates alternate fluid and media property relations and boundary conditions.

The software allows to obtain speed, temperature and pression fields, chemical and radioactive concentrations at each time step on the whole study's area.

PORFLOW PORFLOW is a highly modular program which has been applied to a wide range of practical problems in petrochemical, hydrological, geological, nuclear and chemical industry applications. Typical petrochemical industry application include ground water pollution and resource management, disposal and management of hazardous wastes, environmental impact of hot or cold pipes buried in geologic media, thawing/freezing of permafrost in terrestrial or marine environment, flow in porous beds, formation of geologic basins, and a range of reservoir engineering problems.
