Abstract: Based on published studies, the models and simulations of interflow were introduced, and the way of classifying interflow models was put forward in this paper.According to the main assumptions contained in these interflow models, they could be divided into three actegories: Richards, kinematic wave and storage-discharge models.The Richards models were further divided into one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional models, and the storage discharge models into kinematic and Boussinesq models.Meanwhile, the advantages and shortcomings of these three types of models were pointed out separately by comparison.
