Boussinesq

The program Boussinesq simulates the dynamics of water-table surface solved in a hillslope or a small catchment. The theory is based on the 2D Boussinesq Equation:

$s\frac {\partial \eta} {\partial t} = \nabla \cdot \left[ K_S \, H (\eta,x,y) \, \nabla \eta \right]+Q$

where $$\eta$$ is the piezometric elevation (unknown), $$t$$ is time, $$\nabla$$ is the space gradient operator, $$H(\eta,x,y)$$ is the thickness of the aquifer which is a function of $$\eta$$ and space, $$Q$$ is a source term which also accounts for boundary conditions, $$K_S$$ is the saturated hydraulic conductivity and $$s$$ is porosity .

Warning
The Boussinesq Equation is solved with finite volume numerical methods according to Casulli, 2008 ( http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/121377724/abstract?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0 and http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wrcr.20072/references) The Maps of distributed quantiaties are distributed as vectors of double float numbers (DOBLEVECTOR data struct type ,in this case)
