Flow

In 3Di, four different flow domains are defined: 2D Surface flow, 2D Interflow, 2D Groundwater flow and 1D Flow. The flow in these domains is computed based on conservation of mass and momentum. There are differences in the computation of the flow per domain. These are explained in the sections below.
