The Simulation EnviRonment for Geomorphology, Hydrodynamics and Ecohydrology in Integrated form (SERGHEI) is a multi-dimensional, multi-domain, and multi-physics model framework for environmental and landscape simulation, intended to simulate water flow and transport across landscape scales.
SERGHEI is a modular simulation framework solving for surface and subsurface hydrodynamics (shallow water and Richards equations) and the associated transport of matter. SERGHEI can therefore addresses a variety of applications, from flood modelling to simulating the cascade of matter across landscapes. SERGHEI is under intense development to expand its current capabilities to the entire framework roadmap including bedload and suspended transport, Lagrangian transport, subsurface flow and vegetation interactions.
SERGHEI is implemented in a performance-portable way, enabling its use across CPUs and GPUs and facilitating its maintenance into future hardware architectures. It is also highly-scalable, allowing for efficiently use in large scale HPC systems.
The SERGHEI concept and the implementation of the core shallow water module (SERGHEI-SWE) are presented in
