About

To better understand flood risk and the uncertainty that surrounds it, it has become standard practice in Australia to simulate hundreds of rainfall and climate scenarios using detailed TUFLOW models. However, this approach has led to fragmentation across the industry where modelling methods vary significantly depending on a consultant’s experience, ability to identify critical events, leverage new functionality, access high-performance hardware and licensing, and automate to work within project budget constraints.

In this webinar, we explore strategies to reduce total simulation time without compromising project outcomes or inflating costs and reducing overall project time by utilising cloud infrastructure. Topics include:
• Optimising the number of scenarios required for robust project outcomes,
• Minimizing TUFLOW simulation run times,
• Parallelisation of simulations with cloud hardware via Flood Platform,
• Reducing overall data requirements and streamlining the handover processes.

We’ll also present a case study demonstrating how these approaches have been successfully applied in practice and the benefits quantified.
