Detailed Description

For certain applications, modelling the soil solution in one soil layer as a homogeneous mixed solution is not sufficient.

In the presence of macropores and other preferential flow paths at least an dual porosity model is needed. To use dual porosity setups in cmf, existing soil layers are extended by a MacroPore storage. This group contains the macropore water storage and serveral connections to calculate the flux between macropores and between macropores and the soil matrix.

Note

The macropore part of cmf is still under development. Use it only if you are willing to check the model behaviour down to the C++ source. Suggestions, patches and test cases are more than welcome
