A numerical technique for spatial (lateral and vertical) zooming in finite‐difference multiaquifer ground water flow models with a point‐centered finite‐difference scheme is presented. A composite, rectangular finite‐difference mesh is used, allowing for different mesh resolutions and/or layering in hierarchically associated windows of the flow domain. An iterative procedure, called mesh interface simulator (MIS), is developed to link the parent and child meshes along their boundaries, referred to as interfaces. MIS equates the piezometric head along and the lateral flux across the interface. A numerical example of four interbedded meshes in a two‐aquifer system with spatial zooming is evaluated. The results of numerical simulation are compared to an analytical solution to assess the overall approximation error of the numerical finite‐difference and MIS procedures.
