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.

* '''Rename''' – Allows changing the simulation name.
* phgs.exe – Performs the model simulation.

* '''Delete''' – Removes the selected simulation. This command does not delete or modify components linked to the simulation.
* '''Properties''' – Brings up a ''Properties'' dialog that shows which model the simulation is using and what components have been applied.

* '''New Simulation''' – This command will create a new simulation of the same model type as the simulation folder.
* '''Simulation Run Queue''' – Opens the [[SMS:Simulations#Simulation_Run_Queue|''Simulation Run Queue'']] dialog.
 
Additional commands appear in the simulation right-click menu depend on the settings in the ''Simulation Menu Preferences'' dialog as described above.
If any of the ''Multiple'' simulation commands are invoked, a dialog appears listing the simulations in this folder with toggle box next to each as shown. The user may then select which simulations should be included in this command.
 
These optional commands should be self explanatory based on their name. In general, their function can be described as:
*A command that says '''Save Simulation''' generates the files for the numeric model simulation run, but does not save the project files.
*A command that says '''Save Project''' saves the project such as mesh and map data, but doesn't generate the files needed for the simulation run. This command is typically used with the ''Save Simulation'' command.
*A command that says '''Run Simulation''' runs the simulation. It is necessary to save the simulation files as part of or before using a run command.
All of the above applies equally to multiple simulations commands and single simulations commands.

HydroGeoSphere (HGS) is a three-dimensional control-volume finite element simulator created by 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.

HydroGeoSphere Simulations

The GMS interface for HydroGeoSphere contains multiple components. These components include:

Creating a New HydroGeoSphere Simulation

Example of a MODFLOW 6 simulation in the Project Explorer

To create a MODFLOW simulation:

  1. Right-click on an empty space in the Project Explorer, or right-click on "Project Icon.svg Project" in the Project Explorer, and select New Simulation | HydroGeoSphere.

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.

Some of these commands are common to other Project Explorer In the Project Explorer, right-clicking on HGS simulation brings up a menu with several commands. Some of these commands are common to other Project Explorer right-click menus. Others are unique to the simulation right-click menus. Some of these unique commands are:

  • "Mf6sim data.svg Simulation Data"
    • Simulation Run Queue – Opens the Simulation Run Queue dialog which shows all current simulation runs.
  • "Hgs-sim-folder icon.png HydroGeoSphere Simulations"
