K2dGrFlow is an application for the simulation of 2 dimensional groundwater flow under certain strict conditions. The user has the ability to input a domain. This domain is then divided in triangles of the by the user desired size by the external program EasyMesh. When this is finished, the program calculates a solution of the equation that solves the hydraulic head in the domain. A contour diagram of this hydraulic head can be plotted or printed

Flowlines are perpendicular to these equipontential lines, so the user can imagine the flow of the groundwater through the domain.
