When the working fluid contacts water bodies (rivers, ponds, lakes, etc.), we will just assume the water bodies capture all working fluid that is in contact with them. And the working fluid will neither cross the water bodies nor accumulate at the water/land interface. The transportation of working fluid by water bodies will be carried out by other numerical solvers.
This will require the solver to be able to:
read hydrologic data files (e.g., shapefiles),
identify which cells belong to water bodies, and
remove the working fluid that flowing into water bodies from land.
A possible required need is to record the information of working fluid flowing into water bodies so that the subsequent hydrologic transport solver can use them as inputs. The information may include:
a single total amount of working fluid for each water body,
time history of volumetric data of working fluid, and
the locations of working fluid/water bodies interfaces.
While this possible need is not in the original plan, we'll have to discuss this.
