diffusion term increases as given by <b>halpha</b> and advection term
(direction of flow) is given as "prevailing" direction of flow computed
as average of flow directions from the previous <b>hbeta</b> number of grid cells.
The model is for shallow water flow, where "shallow" is defined by <b>hmax</b>,
default 0.3 meters. Depending on the area of interest and the used digital
elevation model, <b>hmax</b>, <b>halpha</b> and <b>hbeta</b> might need to
be adjusted in order to deal realistically with elevation depressions or obstacles.
The model tries to keep water "shallow" with maximum shallow water
depth defined by <b>hmax</b> default 0.3 meters. However, water depths
much higher than <b>hmax</b> can be observed if water accumulates in
natural sinks or river beds.Depending on the area of interest and the
used digital elevation model, <b>hmax</b>, <b>halpha</b> and
<b>hbeta</b> might need to be adjusted in order to deal realistically
with elevation depressions or obstacles.
