Welcome to SPRING 7, the latest version of the software system for groundwater modelling that has been tried and tested for more than 45 years.
Whether in mining, civil engineering, water supply, groundwater remediation or geothermal energy, our innovative SPRING software supports you in all planning and consulting services.
The software system, based on a development by the Ruhr University Bochum, enables the calculation of three-dimensional groundwater flow, surface water, heat and mass transport models.
SPRING 7, together with the expertise and experience of the user, is the best basis for the success of a groundwater modelling project.
SPRING = Simulation of Processes in Groundwater
Advantages of SPRING compared to other models:
Exact mapping of the geometry
Horizontal position of the receiving waters
Horizontal position of the faults
Horizontal position of the wells
Vertical mapping of geological structures
Pinching-out of geological layers
Fault mapping
Higher-grade flow sets in the fault zones
Any elements can be combined
3D hexahedron, pentahedron, tetrahedron
2D triangles and quadrilaterals
1D linear elements
Unsaturated zone
No drying out of the elements in the unsaturated zone
van Genuchten approximation for saturation and relative hydraulic conductivity
Pre-flooding
Manning/Strickler approach for calculating water level and volume flow
Mass balance in the receiving water
Consideration of the direct outflow
Iteration of the volume flows between infiltration and exfiltration
Box model for calculating mine flooding and quarry ponds
Calculation of daily groundwater recharge - RUBINFLUX
Three-dimensional representation STRING
of geological structures
Transient visualisation of 3D fault trajectories using streamlets
Generation of mp4 videos
Visualisation of isolines/isosurfaces of extreme states
Programme coupling to NASIM
