Surface infiltration is calculated per cell.

First, the infiltration capacities are calculated:

Cwater = Wsurface
Ctop = max( Icon, Isurf )
Isurf = 0 if a construction is present
Icon = 0 if no construction is present

Then the actual infiltration:

Δw = min( Cwater , Δt * Ctop)

Where:

  • Δw = The surface infiltration which takes place.
  • Δt = Computational timestep.
  • Cwater = The amount of infiltration that can take place based on the amount of water on the surface.
  • Ctop = The amount of infiltration that can take place based on the infiltration values present.
  • Wsurface = The amount of water (the water column) on the surface.
  • Icon = The GROUND_INFILTRATION_MD of a construction on a specific cell (if present).
  • Isurf = The GROUND_INFILTRATION_MD of the surface terrain type. This value should be interpreted as the vertical conductivity (Kv) of the sub-soil.
