HydroGeoSphere (HGS) is the world’s most powerful integrated hydrologic modeling platform. HGS is a three-dimensional control-volume finite element simulator that is designed to model the entire terrestrial portion of the hydrologic cycle. It uses a globally-implicit approach to simultaneously solve the 2D diffusive-wave equation for overland/surface water flow and the 3D form of Richards’ equation for variably saturated groundwater flow.
HGS dynamically integrates key components of the hydrologic cycles and can incorporate land surface processes such as evaporation from bare soil, transpiration with evolving vegetation, unsaturated flow, flow in porous and/or discrete fractured media, and reactive solute and thermal energy transport within the overall hydrosphere. Macro pores, fractures, and tile drains can be incorporated discretely or using a dual-porosity, dual-permeability formulation. The model can also simulate winter hydrological processes such as snow accumulation/melting and pore-water freezing/thawing.
The HydroGeoSphere platform has been parallelized to utilize high-performance computing facilities and to address challenging scientific and engineering problems such as the analysis of climate change's impact on water resources at the watershed, basin, and continental scales.

THERMAL AND SOLUTE TRANSPORT MODELING
Simulation of non-reactive and reactive chemical species transport in surface and subsurface.
Heat transport in the associated surface and subsurface flow fields.
Accurate handling of fluid and mass exchanges between fractures and matrix.
Matrix diffusion effects and solute advection in the matrix.
Calculation of water age and solute transit time probabilities.
ADVANCED NUMERICAL METHODS
Fully-implicit coupling approach for all domains provides for a robust, mass-conserved solution scheme.
Advanced computational algorithms that allow the code to perform unprecedented, fully-integrated, 3-D simulation on a personal computer.
Adaptive time-stepping schemes with automatic generation and control of time steps.
Fluid and solute mass balance tracking.
