Note: If links are not active in this page please view the site using Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge

  1. Download the latest executable and manual from the Downloads page of the TUFLOW website.
  2. You are now ready to start TUFLOW modelling. There are multiple options available to help you learn TUFLOW:
    TUFLOW Fixed Grid (Classic and HPC) Modelling
    1. Free TUFLOW eLearning courses.
      These courses are hosted online 24/7. They includes step by step lessons comprising of a combination of written notes, background content videos, demonstration videos and hands-on exercises:
      Other paid eLearning courses are also available via the TUFLOW Training Course Catalogue
    2. TUFLOW Wiki Self-teach Tutorials
    3. Example Models
      This database includes over 60 example models demonstrating the most commonly used TUFLOW features. Use these models to learn how to implement features not included in the TUFLOW eLearning or Wiki Tutorials.

    TUFLOW Flexible Mesh (FV) Modelling

    1. TUFLOW Wiki Self-teach Tutorials
  3. After gaining an understanding of TUFLOW through the eLearning and/or tutorial models you may be interested in developing some of your own models for testing. A free Demo option is included within the standard TUFLOW executable. The free Demo version is fully enabled, though has the following limits:
    • 100,000 total cells and 30,000 active (potentially flooded) cells
    • 100 1D channels
    • There can only be one CPU 2D domain (M2D is not supported). HPC Quadtree is supported.
    • A simulation time of 10 minutes.
    The free Demo mode is called using the TUFLOW Control File (TCF) command: Demo Model == ON
  4. Run TUFLOW using the options listed in the Running TUFLOW section of the Wiki.
  5. Other resources that may be useful include:
    TUFLOW Fixed Grid (Classic and HPC) Modelling
    TUFLOW Flexible Mesh (FV) Modelling
  6. Please email support@tuflow.com if you have any technical questions or sales@tuflow.com if you would like to purchase a licence. Price information is available from the Pricing page of the TUFLOW website
