FlexModel¶

class FlexModel[source]¶

Recharge to the groundwater calculate according to [collenteur_2020].

Notes

Note that the preferred unit of the precipitation and evaporation is mm/d.

The water balance for the unsaturated zone reservoir is written as:

\[\frac{dS}{dt} = P_e - E_a - R\]

where the recharge is calculated as:

\[R = K_s \left( \frac{S}{S_u}\right) ^\gamma\]

For a detailed description of the recharge model and parameters we refer to Collenteur et al. (in review).
