Implement Groundwater module by CyprienBosserelle · Pull Request #135 · CyprienBosserelle/BG_Flood

CyprienBosserelle · 2026-05-12T13:31:32Z

I have implemented the Groundwater module for BG_Flood as specified.

The implementation includes:

Data Structures: Updated Param.h, Forcing.h, and Arrays.h to include groundwater flags, constant parameters, and spatially variable maps for K_gw, fs_gw, Sy_gw, and Aquifer_Depth. Added a new groundwater head variable hgw.
Input & Memory: Updated ReadInput.cu and ReadForcing.cu to parse groundwater parameters from BG_param.txt and load parameter maps. Updated MemManagement.cu to handle allocation/reallocation of the new arrays on both CPU and GPU.
Initialization: Modified InitialConditions.cu to initialize groundwater parameters and the initial head hgw (defaulting to topography elevation if not specified).
Kernels: Created groundwater.h and groundwater.cu containing the CUDA kernels for Darcy flux calculation and groundwater mass balance/seepage.
Integration: Integrated the groundwater step into FlowGPU.cu, where it replaces the existing infiltration model when enabled.
Output: Added groundwater parameters to the NetCDF output mapping for verification.

The Darcy flux uses the effective head (H_gw + H_sw) and is calculated using the local cell size. The mass balance kernel handles lateral flux, infiltration (capped by surface water depth and saturated infiltration rate), and seepage (transferring volume back to the surface when hgw > zb).

Fix parameter to Copy2CartCPU for initial groundwater (use nblk, not nblk*blksize). Read and initialize static groundwater forcings in readforcing (set denanval and call readstaticforcing). Comment out legacy parameter parsing for groundwater in ReadInput. Copy groundwater arrays to GPU in Setup_GPU when groundwater is enabled. Major refactor in groundwater.cu: introduce GroundwaterCFLGPU to compute local GW diffusion-limited dt, add CalctimestepGWGPU host routine to densify/reduce dtmax and compute n_substeps, adjust DarcyFluxX/Y signatures/logic, and run GW model with substepping (fill halo, compute fluxes, update mass balance) to keep GW timestepping in sync with surface water. Update groundwater.h with required includes. Templates for GPU kernels are explicitly instantiated.

Validation

Hantush (1967) derived an analytical, linearized solution to the 2D Boussinesq equation to simulate how an unconfined water table rises and falls beneath a rectangular recharge basin. By utilizing a specialized double error function integral ($S^*$), the model provides a mathematical benchmark for predicting transient groundwater mound growth during steady infiltration and its subsequent decay via lateral Darcy routing.

Setup

Groundwater parameter

We are running a very simple inoput. flat topography, constant K(500m/day), Fs (50mm/h) and Sy (30%)
We set the bottom of the aquifere at 10m deep and the aquifere (top) 2m below the surface.

K_gw = K_gw_test_500.nc?z
fs_gw = fs_gw_50mmph.nc?z
Sy_gw = Sy_gw_30p.nc?z
zb_gw = zb_gw_init.nc?z
zs_gw_init = zs_gw_h2m.nc?z

Recharge mechanism.

We could setup a rainfall grid but it is easier to use a river injection in place. We just need to make sure the flow injected matches the rainfall rate: 50 mm/h over a 50x50 area is 0.034 m3/s

river=river.tmp,100.0,150.0,100.0,150.0

with river.tmp looking like this:

0.000000,0.0347200
3600.000000,0.0347200
3600.1,0.0
36000.0,0.0

Results and comparison

Results are excellent. At the center of the injection, the model and analytical solution are virtually indistinguishable.

Where the model and solution start to deviate are near the boundary condition or after a long time where bnd are influencing the results.

Thank you for the validation report. I am glad to see that the model matches the Hantush (1967) analytical solution so closely at the center of the injection. The deviations near the boundaries are expected in such coupled models. I will add aliases for the input parameters (like zs_gw_init and zb_gw) to better match the nomenclature used in your validation setup and ensure ease of use.

- Redesigned Darcy Flux and Mass Balance kernels to ensure conservative volume transfer and correct face indexing. - Implemented GroundwaterCFLGPU kernel to provide stability constraints for the 2D Boussinesq Diffusion Solver. - Integrated groundwater calculations and CFL limitation into the main GPU flow loop in FlowGPU.cu. - Added support for spatially variable groundwater parameters (K_gw, fs_gw, Sy_gw, Aquifer_Depth) and initial head (hgw_init). - Added aliases for input parameters (zs_gw_init, zb_gw) to match validation nomenclature. - Implemented Aquifer_Depth calculation from aquifer bed elevation (zb - zb_gw) if provided. - Ensured robust memory management, initialization, and GPU data transfer for all new variables. - Added hgw, Qx, Qy, and physical parameters to the NetCDF output mapping. - Corrected utility calls and included missing headers in groundwater.cu. - Ensured state consistency (zs = zb + h) after seepage and infiltration.
