New page

= Introduction =
In this module, a TUFLOW CATCH integrated model with interventions is developed. 

TUFLOW CATCH Tutorial 04 is built from the models created in [[TUFLOW_CATCH_Tutorial_M02 | TUFLOW CATCH Tutorial 02]] and [[TUFLOW_CATCH_Tutorial_M03 | TUFLOW CATCH Tutorial 03]]. The completed TUFLOW CATCH Tutorial 03 is provided in the '''TUFLOW_CATCH_Module_04\Modelling''' folder of the download dataset as the starting point for this tutorial.
If unfamiliar with TUFLOW CATCH, it is recommended to complete [[TUFLOW_CATCH_Tutorial_M01 | TUFLOW CATCH Tutorial 01]], [[TUFLOW_CATCH_Tutorial_M02 | TUFLOW CATCH Tutorial 02]] and [[TUFLOW_CATCH_Tutorial_M03 | TUFLOW CATCH Tutorial 03]] prior to starting this tutorial.

= Meteorological Data =
Meteorological inputs are defined in boundary condition blocks within the receiving model block of the TUFLOW CATCH Control file (.tcc).  For this tutorial, timeseries meteorological data has been supplied.
<ol>
<li>In Windows File Explorer, navigate to the '''TUFLOW_CATCH_Module_04\Tutorial_Data''' folder. Copy the '''TC04_met_ts_001.csv''' and paste it in the '''TUFLOW_CATCH_Module_04\Modelling\TUFLOWFV\bc_dbase\met''' folder. This file contains the timeseries meteorological data.
<li>Open the file. As this file is read by TUFLOW FV, the first column (Time) must contain the date is ISODATE format (DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss). The other columns contain the data for the meteorological conditions that will be simulated in this model: 
{|
|
* '''AIR_TEMP''': Air temperature (degrees Celsius)
|
:::* '''REL_HUM''': Relative humidity (%)
|-
|
*'''LW_RAD''': Downward longwave radiation (W m<tt>-2</tt>)
|
:::*'''W10_X''': Zonal wind velocity at 10m (m s-1)
|-
|
*'''SW_RAD''': Downward shortwave radiation (W m-2)
|
:::*'''W10_Y''': Meridional wind velocity at 10m (m s-1)
|}

</ol>

= Simulation Control Files =
The following steps will require use of a text editor. The tutorial demonstration uses Notepad++. For its configuration information refer to [[NotepadPlusPlus_Tips | Notepad++ Tips]]. 

==== Generate Template Files ====
This tutorial requires a Water Quality Control file (.fvwq) and a Sediment Transport Control file (.fvsed). Use the TUFLOW CATCH plugin to generate template files:
<ol>
<li>In QGIS, go to Processing > Toolbox from the top drop down menu options to open the Processing Toolbox.
<li>Go to TUFLOW Catch in the processing tool list and select 'Create TUFLOW Catch Project'. This opens the dialog shown below:
*Project Name: '''TC04'''
*Project Folder: Click '...', and navigate to the '''TUFLOW_CATCH_Module_04\Modelling''' folder.
*Project CRS: Click the drop down menu and select 'Project CRS: EPSG:32760 - WGS 84 / UTM zone 60S’.
* TUFLOW HPC Executable: Click '...', and navigate to the '''exe\TUFLOW\2025.1.0 folder'''. Select '''TUFLOW_iSP_w64.exe'''.
* TUFLOW FV Executable: Click '...', and navigate to the '''exe\TUFLOWFV\2025.1.0''' folder. Select '''TUFLOWFV.exe'''.
* Default GIS Format: Click the drop down menu and select 'SHP'.
* Tick on 'Setup Control File Templates'.
* Control File Templates: Expand the 'Advanced Parameters' section. Click '...', and tick on: Water Quality Control file (.fvwq) and Sediment Control file (.fvsed). Ensure all other files are ticked off.
<li> Click 'Run'. Once the tool has finished click 'Close'.

=== Global Settings ===
For this tutorial, leave all commands as is. This section of the .tcc was populated in [[TUFLOW_CATCH_Tutorial_M01 | TUFLOW CATCH Tutorial 01]].

=== Catchment Hydraulic Model ===
This block contains commands that construct the TUFLOW HPC simulation.
<ol>
<li> Save a copy of '''TC03_001.tcc''' as '''TC04_001.tcc''' in the '''TUFLOW_CATCH_Module_04\Modelling\TUFLOWCATCH\runs''' folder.

= Troubleshooting =
See tips on common mistakes and troubleshooting steps if the model doesn't run:
:*[[Tutorial_Troubleshooting_QGIS | QGIS]]

= Results Output =
Complete the steps outlined in the following links to review simulation results from the TUFLOW CATCH integrated model simulation:
:*[[TUFLOW_CATCH_Tutorial_M04_Results_QGIS | TC04 - Results]] 

= Conclusion =
* A TUFLOW CATCH Integrated model was created.
* Meteorological data, water quality and sediment transport were added to the model.
* A TUFLOW CATCH JSON file was created to review the transfer of results (particularly pollutants) between the TUFLOW HPC and the TUFLOW FV domains.
