Using the debug.control file for real-time tuning of HGS simulation performance

Using the debug.control file for real-time tuning of HGS simulation performance

This post explains how to use the debug.control file to modify the performance of an HGS simulation in real-time. By adjusting settings in the debug.control file, users can tweak parameters like convergence and time stepping without needing to restart the simulation. This is particularly helpful for optimizing the simulation's behavior during runtime. We find that using debug.control is a great way to test different settings and improve model performance on the fly. The file also provides the flexibility to pause simulations or adjust output, making it an essential tool for users looking to troubleshoot or fine-tune their models.

HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – The HypoSalar project: Integrating hyporheic exchange fluxes into Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) spawning habitat models

HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – The HypoSalar project: Integrating hyporheic exchange fluxes into Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) spawning habitat models

In this research highlight ultra-fine resolution HydroGeoSphere models are used to simulate hyporheic exchange fluxes in river reaches used by Atlantic salmon for spawning. The HypoSalar project is contributing to demonstrate that the capabilities of HydroGeoSphere are not exclusively related to the field of hydrogeology, but can be used for both fluvial geomorphology and ecological studies due to HydroGeoSphere's flexibility and superior modeling approach.

Staff Research Highlight - Development of a fully integrated hydrological fate and transport model for plant protection products: incorporating groundwater, tile drainage, and runoff

This research investigates how the integrated hydrological modelling of plant protection products (PPPs) such as pesticides can provide a more comprehensive understanding of their environmental behavior across groundwater, surface water, and tile drainage systems.

HGS HIGHLIGHT – Estimating cumulative wastewater treatment plant discharge influences on acesulfame and Escherichia coli in a highly impacted watershed with a fully-integrated modelling approach

HGS HIGHLIGHT – Estimating cumulative wastewater treatment plant discharge influences on acesulfame and Escherichia coli in a highly impacted watershed with a fully-integrated modelling approach

In this research highlight, researchers used HydroGeoSphere (HGS) to explore the impact of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) discharge on surface water contamination in a mixed-use watershed in Ontario, Canada. The study focused on tracking acesulfame, a commonly used artificial sweetener, and Escherichia coli (E. coli), a fecal indicator, to understand how these contaminants move between surface and groundwater systems. Understanding the interactions between surface water and groundwater is critical in watersheds where WWTP discharge contributes to regional water quality concerns.
