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.

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:
