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. | {{HGS Links}} | ||

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. | |||

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. | |||
