Module flow_accumulation

This modules uses the calculated ice surface elevation, together with basal topography, to compute the hydraulic potential and hydraulic head and the associated flow accumulation area. For the later, we use the simple subglacial hydrology of the enthalpy module.

This module depends on the pyshed library.
