Course outline
There are numerous potential sources of error in hydraulic modelling including:
data input inaccuracies;
poor model design; and
inaccuracies in the numerical solution being used.
This course specifically focuses on reducing errors associated with poor model design. Topics include, though are not limited to:
Appropriate 2D cell size(s);
Model extent constraints;
Recommended boundary condition locations and implementation;
Timestep selection;
“Traditional Grid” vs “Sub-Grid Sampled” topography treatment;
Topography updates to enforce significant (necessary) hydraulic controls;
Simulation check files.
Background theory will be discussed, and a range of TUFLOW HPC model build exercises will be used to demonstrate the concepts mentioned above, and their impact on hydraulic modelling results.
Session outline
Session1: Active domain extent; Boundary condition locations Session2: Simulation timestep; 2D cell size Session3: Hydraulic control reinforcement; simulation check files.
6+ hours of session recordings with unlimited access for 30-days;Â
Pre-course materials to go through via the LMS;
TUFLOW eLearning exercises between Session 2 & 3;
Access to TUFLOW eLearning modules valued at over $1,000, free of charge!
Ability to ask questions to the presenters at anytime through the LMS;
Attendees earn CPD hours/points (i.e. with Engineers Australia) for at least 12 hours for the entire course.
Requirements
A good internet connection.
Computer device with a Windows OS.
The modelling demonstrations during this course will be completed using TUFLOW HPC. Attendees will be guided to work through examples using QGIS for TUFLOW.
No software licences are required. All exercises will be built to function using TUFLOW’s free demo mode. The demo mode is built into all TUFLOW releases, though has the following limits:
100,000 total cells and 30,000 active (potentially flooded) cells.
