TUFLOW ENGINE
The TUFLOW computational engine computes 1D and 2D hydraulic solutions. The engine is very stable making it an excellent choice for models with lots of wetting and drying. TUFLOW includes 1D cross-sections, 1D pipe networks, 1D and 2D hydraulic structures, and allows rainfall directly on the model domain so it is useful in many different applications including coastal, riverine and urban settings.
For more information see the TUFLOW webpage www.tuflow.com.
SMS Interface
The TUFLOW interface in SMS can be used to construct TUFLOW models and view and analyze the results.
Some of the features of the interface include:
- Create 2D domains from bathymetry data
- Extract 1D cross-section domains from TIN data
- Define 1D pipe domains including links to the surface
- Import data from ArcGIS or MapInfo GIS formats
- Define boundary conditions at 1D nodes, 2D lines, or 2D polygons
- Create 2D geometry modifications to model objects such as levees
- Set material properties such as Manning n values and hydrologic losses
- Define simulations from building blocks above
- Simulations share common data to prevent data duplication errors and make it easy to update project with new data
Using the Model / Practical Notes
- The horizontal and vertical coordinates used for all TUFLOW input files must be in meters. Geographic Coordinates cannot be used since it is a latitude/longitude system defined in decimal degrees.
