Model part of larger framework	LandLab
Note on status model
Date note status model

Incorporated models or components:

Spatial dimensions	2D
Spatial extent	Regional-Scale, Landscape-Scale, Watershed-Scale, Reach-Scale
Model domain	Terrestrial, Hydrology
One-line model description	Flow direction on a raster grid by the D infinity method.
Extended model description	Directs flow by the D infinity method (Tarboton, 1997). Each node is assigned two flow directions, toward the two neighboring nodes that are on the steepest subtriangle. Partitioning of flow is done based on the aspect of the subtriangle.

Keywords:	flow path, flow director,

Typical run time

Describe input parameters	grid : ModelGrid A grid of type Voroni. elevs : field name at node or array of length node The surface to direct flow across. baselevel_nodes : array_like, optional IDs of open boundary (baselevel) nodes.
Input format	ASCII
Other input format
Describe output parameters	receivers : ndarray of size (num nodes, max neighbors at node) For each node, the IDs of the nodes that receive its flow. For nodes that do not direct flow to all neighbors, grid.BAD_INDEX is given as a placeholder. The ID of the node itself is given if no other receiver is assigned. proportions : ndarray of size (num nodes, max neighbors at node) For each receiver, the proportion of flow (between 0 and 1) is given. A proportion of zero indicates that the link does not have flow along it. slopes: ndarray of size (num nodes, max neighbors at node) For each node in the array ``recievers``, the slope value (positive downhill) in the direction of flow. If no flow occurs (value of ``recievers`` is -1), then this array is set to 0. steepest_slope : ndarray The slope value (positive downhill) in the direction of flow. steepest_receiver : ndarray For each node, the node ID of the node connected by the steepest link. grid.BAD_INDEX is given if no flow emmanates from the node. sink : ndarray IDs of nodes that are flow sinks (they are their own receivers) receiver_links : ndarray of size (num nodes, max neighbors at node) ID of links that leads from each node to its receiver, or grid.BAD_INDEX if no flow occurs on this link. steepest_link : ndarray For each node, the link ID of the steepest link. grid.BAD_INDEX is given if no flow emanates from the node.
