Core principles
In the 2-dimensional grid model of the Tygron Platform, water infiltrates from the surface, infiltrates through the unsaturated zone and is partially stored, after which it reaches the saturated zone. Here, horizontal flow occurs, depending on hydraulic gradients and permeability, and everything is simulated in a time-dependant context. There is no vertical (and no radial) flow in the saturated zone.
Unsaturated zone Terrain Type: Attributes
| Parameter | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|
| UNSATURATED_FRACTION | fraction | Initial value saturation E.g. 0.5 means pores are 50% filled with water. |
| WATER_STORAGE_PERCENTAGE | m³/m³ | Effective porosity. Determines water storage capacity. |
| GROUND_INFILTRATION_MD | m/day | Maximum infiltration speed in this type of terrain. |
