| TUFLOW is a one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) flood and tide simulation software. It simulates the complex hydrodynamics of floods and tides using the full 1D St Venant equations and the full 2D free-surface shallow water equations.
| |
| | |
| ==TUFLOW Interface==
| |
| The TUFLOW interface in SMS exists in several modules including: [[SMS:Cartesian Grid Module|Cartesian Grid Module]], [[SMS:Map Module|Map Module]], [[SMS:Scatter Module|Scatter Module]], and [[SMS:Mesh Module|Mesh Module]]. Many of the TUFLOW building blocks are managed using the Project Explorer.
| |
| | |
| ===How to use TUFLOW?===
| |
| The SMS [[SMS:Tutorials|tutorials]] are a good place to start learning to use SMS and associated models. The following tutorials will help with getting started using TUFLOW.
| |
| *Models – TUFLOW 2D
| |
| *Models – TUFLOW 1D
| |
| *General – Data Visualization
| |
| *General – Observations
| |
| | |
| ===General Steps to Build a TUFLOW Model===
| |
| * [[SMS:Define TUFLOW domain | Define the domain or domains]]
| |
| * Setup [[SMS:TUFLOW Boundary Conditions|boundary conditions]]
| |
| * Create the [[SMS:TUFLOW Simulation|simulation]]
| |
| * Define [[SMS:TUFLOW Material Properties|Material Properties]]
| |
| * Set [[SMS:TUFLOW Model Parameters|Model Parameters]]
| |
| * Run [[SMS:TUFLOW Overview#Running TUFLOW|TUFLOW]]
| |
| | |
| * Find problems and verify model setup using [[SMS:TUFLOW Check Files|check files]]
| |
| * [[SMS:TUFLOW Overview#TUFLOW Viewing Results|View and analyze the results]]
| |
| * Repeat above steps to generate new simulations
| |
| | |
| ====Optional Steps====
| |
| * Define flow constrictions
| |
| * Define [[SMS:TUFLOW Coverages#2D Geometry Modification Coverage|geometry modifications]] such as levees
| |
| | |
| ==TUFLOW Coverages==
| |
| Much of the data used in TUFLOW is specified on a coverage level into one of the [[SMS:TUFLOW Coverages|TUFLOW Coverages]].
| |
| | |
| ==Saving TUFLOW==
| |
| When completing the ''File'' | '''Save As...''' menu command, the following files get saved in the *.sms:
| |
| | |
| * *.mat referenced to new save location
| |
| * _grds.h5 referenced to new save location
| |
| * *.mat_h5 referenced to new save location
| |
| * Geomcomps.h5 referenced to new save location
| |
| * scatter.h5 referenced to new save location
| |
| * tuflow files don't get saved to new location unless exported again
| |
| | |
| ==Running TUFLOW==
| |
| Before running TUFLOW, the TUFLOW files must be generated from SMS. These files are separate from the files SMS uses to store its TUFLOW information.
| |
| | |
| The options to export the TUFLOW files and run TUFLOW are in the right-click menu of the simulation.
| |
| *Export TUFLOW files – This will export the TUFLOW model files into the run directory (by default a directory named TUFLOW under the project directory).
| |
| *Launch TUFLOW – This will launch TUFLOW under the assumption that the files have already been exported as above.
| |
| *Save Project, Export TUFLOW files, and Launch TUFLOW – This option will save the current SMS project file, export the TUFLOW files, and launch TUFLOW on these files.
| |
| | |
| ==Viewing Results==
| |
| TUFLOW results are written in SMS mesh format in the \TUFLOW\results folder. The [[SMS:Mesh Module|mesh module]] tools and menus are used to visualize the solution.
| |
| | |
| The solution files all start with the name of the simulation. The extension identifies the type of data in the result file.
| |
| * *.2dm – two-dimensional output mesh in SMS format.
| |
| * *.dat – The dataset files associated with the mesh solution (d for depth, h for water surface, etc.)
| |
| * *.mat – The output materials from TUFLOW. Most of the element materials come from the *.tmf file. TUFLOW also uses the materials to identify boundary cells.
| |
| * *.ALL.sup – A file that opens the *.2dm file, all the *.dat files, and the *.mat file.
| |
| * *.hV.sup – A file that opens the *.2dm file, the water surface and velocity datasets, and the *.mat file.
