Numerical model used for the simulation of water flow within stepped bioretention cell

This model is developed in GIFMod (Green Infrastructure Flexible Model | A versatile flexible platform to model water quality management systems (gifmod.com)). This item contains three files: two stepped cell.GIFM, three stepped cell.GIFM and four stepped cell.GIFM.

The detailed model settings can refer to the paper by Chen & Chui (2022). The model operation can refer to the manual Documentation | Green Infrastructure Flexible Model (gifmod.com)
