The boundary condition is based on a classic leakance approach to balance water between differently mobile regions such as the land surface and subsurface. Present work applies leakances to transfer water and air simultaneously through the land surface for soils, which are connected by an air flux with a steady atmosphere. Shallow flow and two phase flow in a porous medium are sequential calculated in an iteration loop. General criteria are stated to guarantee numerical stability in the coupling loop and for leakances to control inter-compartment fluid fluxes. Using the leakance approach, a numerical model captures typical feedbacks between surface runoff and soil air in near-stream areas. Specifically, displacement of water and air in soils is hampered at full-water saturation over the land surface resulting in enhanced surface runoff in the test cases. Leakance parameters permit the simulation of air out-breaks with reference to air pressures, which fluctuate in the shallow subsurface between two thresholds. 2013 Conference report Open Access CIMNE
