Examples
This documentation comes with numerous examples to help you get started, demonstrate the capabilities of HydrOpTop or to use as a template for your cases.
Permeability calibration
HydrOpTop can be used to calibrate permeability field in PFLOTRAN simulation. Below is different examples showing how to acheived that, from a simple 2D permeability field calibration to a complex 3D model with multiple hydrostratigraphic units.
Drains placement
Some engineers already faced the problem to efficiently design drains to lower the groundwater table for example. HydrOpTop can be used to assess what the optimal drain pattern given a volume constrain as follow.
Pervious surround design optimisation
Using HydrOpTop to optimize the performance of the pervious surround technic to minimize flow in backfilled waste in open pits.

Verification examples (not hydrogeology)
Cantilever_simple: The classical TO benchmark using a homemade 2D linear elasticity FEM solver. Consists in minimizing the mechanical compliance of a cantilever under a maximum volume constraint.
Cantilever_discrete: The same previous classical benchmark but using a Heaviside projection to create a discrete final design.
Cantilever_min_volume: A variation of the classical benchmark consisting in minimizing the weight (i.e. the volume) of the cantilever under a maximum mechanical compliance constraint.
