Stream Dynamics Simulator

The study of water movement on and below the Earth's surface and its role as a geological agent. Stream Dynamics Simulator turns that idea into something you can manipulate directly and watch respond.

The study of water movement on and below the Earth's surface and its role as a geological agent. It focuses on Drainage Basins, Aquifers, Porosity and Permeability, Flood Hazards, Water Table from the “Hydrology: Streams, Floods, and Groundwater” section.

The “Channel Slope (S) 0.020”, “Roughness (n) 0.040”, “Hydraulic Radius (R) 2.5m” sliders change the key inputs. Every change updates the visualization in real time, so you can see exactly how each variable affects the outcome.

Geology is the scientific study of the solid Earth, its composition, and the dynamic processes that shape it over time. This course provides a comprehensive exploration of Earth's materials, from the microscopic structu… This demo is the interactive piece for the “Hydrology: Streams, Floods, and Groundwater” section.

You'll build intuition for Drainage Basins, Aquifers, Porosity and Permeability, Flood Hazards, Water Table — and, crucially, see how they behave when you change the inputs, which is hard to get from a textbook or lecture on Geology alone.
