HydroGeoSphere (HGS) is a three-dimensional control-volume finite element simulator created by [https://www.aquanty.com/ Aquanty]. HGS can be used to model the entire terrestrial portion of the hydrologic cycle. It uses a globally-implicit approach to simultaneously solve the 2D diffusive-wave equation for overland/surface water flow and the 3D form of Richards’ equation for variably saturated groundwater flow. | {{HGS Links}} | ||
HydroGeoSphere (HGS) is a three-dimensional control-volume finite element simulator created by [https://www.aquanty.com/ Aquanty]. HGS can be used to model the entire terrestrial portion of the hydrologic cycle. It uses a globally-implicit approach to simultaneously solve the 2D diffusive-wave equation for overland/surface water flow and the 3D form of Richards’ equation for variably saturated groundwater flow. GMS allows multiple HGS simulations to exist in a single GMS project. Users should note that while GMS uses the terms “points” and “cells” for UGrids, HGS uses the terms “nodes” and “elements” regarding this tool. | |||

A 3D UGrid of the project area is required. While the project can contain multiple UGrids, only one UGrid can be attached to each HGS simulation. The desired UGrid will need to be linked to the HGS simulation. | |||

== | ==HGS Executables== | ||
* | Running HGS requires multiple executable. These include: | ||
* grok.exe – A pre-processor that uses the Grok input file containing the information and instructions for the HGS simulation. | |||
* phgs.exe – Performs the model simulation. | |||
* hsplot.exe – A post-processor that generates the simulations results. | |||
Note: Executables are not shipped and installed with GMS, and as such users are required to install HydroGeoSphere in order to access executables. | |||
Boundary conditions are defined on feature objects in GMS coverages. When the model is saved, GMS intersects the features with the UGrid to find the grid components (nodes, cells, faces, or segments) that should be associated with the boundary conditions, and writes the boundary conditions to the GROK file. Furthermore, when model native files are saved, the feature objects are intersected with the grid, similar to Map to Modflow. For boundary condition coverages, the type of feature object and the type of boundary condition determines the type of UGrid component (point, face, or segment) that the BC is mapped to. | |||
