Core principles

Tygron consists of a 2D grid model with a time component. An aquifer and a aquitard can be modelled. The following geohydrological processes can be simulated:

  1. Infiltration,
  2. Flow through the unsaturated zone in vertical direction;
  3. Flow in the saturated zone in horizontal direction;
  4. Groundwater from the saturated zone can seep away or be replenished through a aquitard layer.


Infiltration Terrain Type: Attributes

Formula used: Surface infiltration formula (Water Overlay)

Parameter Attribuut in Tygron Symbol Unit
Infiltration speed of the building GROUND_INFILTRATION_MD Ibuilding m/d
Infiltration speed of the terrain GROUND_INFILTRATION_MD Iterrain m/d
Infiltration speed of the ground GROUND_INFILTRATION_MD Iground m/d
Effective infiltration speed. GROUND_INFILTRATION_MD Isurface m/d



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.

Infiltration only Only infiltration into the unsaturated zone is simulated.
Storage is defined by MAX_INFILTRATION_M.
Complete Complete simulation of infiltration, flow, and evaporation.



Output Overlays Water Overlay Result Types
Mode Description
GROUND_WATERTABLE Groundwater level, in meters relative to reference datum.
GROUND_WATERTABLE_WITH_SURFACE Combines GROUND_WATERTABLE with water on the surface when groundwater level is near the surface.
GROUND_FLOW Horizontal flow of groundwater.
GROUND_BOTTOM_FLOW Groundwater flow via the bottom of the saturated zone.
GROUND_LAST_STORAGE Current amount of water in the unsaturated and saturated zones combined.
GROUND_MAX_STORAGE Highest recorded amound of water in the unsaturated and saturated zones combined.
GROUND_LAST_UNSATURATED_STORAGE Amount of water in the unsaturated zone.
GROUND_LAST_UNSATURATED_FRACTION Fraction of total amount of storage available in unsaturated zone which is actually filled with water.
EVAPORATED Total evaporation recorded, including evapotranspiration through vegetation.
