-Conduction (CND) Package information is read from the file that is specified by ``CND6'' as the file type.  Only one CND Package can be specified for a GWE model.  The CND Package is based on the mathematical formulation presented for the XT3D option of the NPF Package available to represent full three-dimensional anisotropy in groundwater flow.  XT3D can be computationally expensive and can be turned off to use a simplified and approximate form of the dispersion equations that also account for conduction in a heat transport model.  For most problems, however, XT3D will be required to accurately represent conduction and dispersion.

If tortuosity plays an important role in the thermal conductivity calculation, its effect should be reflected in the value specified for KTW.
