Flow Storing Requirements

The transport calculations are based on the water flow, water contents, hydraulic heads and water levels calculated in a MIKE SHE water movement simulation. Depending on the complexity of the advection/dispersion simula­tion, the water movement output must be stored with different storing time steps. The selected storing frequency should be sufficient to reflect the dynamics of the flow processes. However, the following two restrictions must be observed:

·         The SZ head and SZ flow storing time steps must be equal, and

·         The SZ storing time step must be an integer multiple of the UZ storing time step, which must be an integer multiple of the overland storing time step.

The last restriction above is controlled in the user interface.
