Description
I want to change the ANUGA source codes by adding a porosity parameter into the classical shallow-water equation to simulate urban flooding. This governing equation was described in Velickovic et al.(2010): “The porosity approach leads to modified shallow-water equations including a porosity parameter to account for the area available to the flow in a given control volume”.
I don't know if ANUGA can simulate this modified shallow-water equation with porosity. Do I need to configure this new parameter in config.py?

Research direction
Start by reading config.py and locating the ANUGA source code that implements the classical shallow-water equation. Compare that implementation with the porosity-modified equations described by Velickovic et al. (2010), then determine the required configuration and simulation changes; done means ANUGA can run a documented urban-flooding simulation using the porosity parameter.
