Although there are porous media and subsurface flow modes available in a toolbox of COMSOL Multiphysics®, some common requirements in hydrogeological models can not be easily accessed in the graphical user interface. Most crucially, there is no distinction between confined and unconfined situations for permeable layers, so called aquifers. Using the Physics Builder for such distinctions aquifer physics modes are constructed that enable hydrogeologists to work with COMSOL Multiphysics® as they are used to from other specialized software for hydrogeological modeling.
