General Section

  • Data Visualization
  • Mesh Editing
  • Observation

RiverFLO-2D v3 is a hydrodynamic, mobile bed model for rivers and estuaries that uses a stable and powerful finite element method to compute high resolution flood hydraulics, including supercritical and subcritical flows over dry or wet river beds. Use of flexible triangular mesh allows resolving the flow field, sediment transport and bed elevation changes around key features in complex river environments. RiverFLO-2D has been applied on numerous river projects worldwide including large rivers in the United States, South America, Europe and Asia.

Functionality

Features

  • Flexible triangular finite element meshes
  • Mesh refinement to resolve complex river features
  • Supercritical and subcritical flow
  • Steady and time-dependent flow
  • Mobile-bed sediment transport
  • Numerically stable explicit solution scheme
  • Dry-wet bed capability not requiring initially wet elements
  • Parallelized code for multiple-core processor computers
  • Documented input ASCII, free format files
  • Comprehensive ASCII output files
  • Graphical output in a variety of formats

Using the Model / Practical Notes

Graphical Interface

RiverFLO-2D uses the Generic Model Graphical Interface.

Reading Legacy Projects into SMS

An existing RiverFLO-2D project consists of the following files:

  • geometry (.dat)
  • boundary conditions (From ???)

Aquaveo does not currently have a utility to convert these files directly to SMS format. In order to work with data from this project in the SMS environment follow these steps:
