HydroPol2D
A distributed hydrologic-hydrodynamic modeling framework for coupled surface-subsurface processes
Hydrologic Processes
Interception, evapotranspiration, snow dynamics, infiltration, layered vadose storage, recharge, and groundwater feedbacks.
Hydrodynamic Routing
Local inertial, full momentum, diffusive D4, kinematic D4, cellular automata, and hydraulic controls.
Groundwater Model
Layered recharge, capillary rise, async groundwater scheduling, Boussinesq flow, exfiltration, and saturation excess.
Risk Diagnostics
Human-instability modes 1 and 3 coupled to routed depths and velocities, with explicit validation caveats for diagnostics.
Water Quality
Pollutant buildup, washoff, and distributed transport coupled to surface flow and outlet export.
Model Workflow
HydroPol2D links atmospheric forcing, canopy interception, vadose-zone storage, groundwater response, dynamic surface routing, pollutant transport, and optional human-instability diagnostics through two-way coupling across the full hydrologic system.
Atmospheric Forcing
Climate inputs and cryosphere partitioning
Canopy & Energy Balance
Vegetation controls on effective water input
Coupled Core Solver
Exchanges water mass, storage states, and feedbacks across surface, vadose, groundwater, routing, and quality modules.
Surface-Flow Routing
2D surface storage, conveyance, and controls
Surface & Vadose Partitioning
Runoff generation and subsurface allocation
Groundwater System
Subsurface storage and return-flow interaction
Water-Quality Transport
Constituent generation and surface export
Why HydroPol2D?

Built for large domains
Designed for efficient high-resolution simulations with scalable workflows and advanced numerical options.
Geospatial workflows
Integrates terrain, soil, vegetation, climate, river, and hydraulic-control datasets into a distributed modeling environment.
Open-Source
Flexible for flood inundation, groundwater interaction, green infrastructure, and water-quality applications.
