Line 111: Different software will give different results for the simple reason that they all include different calculation assumptions. Understanding what those assumptions are and how they influence results will be important for the sensitivity testing. TUFLOW, like all hydraulic modelling software, needs to be applied appropriately and models should be calibrated to real world events if calibration data are available. The three pillars of TUFLOW's development focus are solution accuracy, simulation speed, workflow efficient. Extensive benchmarking globally have demonstrated TUFLOW is top in its class in all three categories. Helpful software support, coupling with 1D and integration with GIS also needs to be considered as it is very important for many users.<br> The <u>[~~https~~http://book.arr.org.au.s3-website-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ Australian Rainfall and Runoff document]</u> has a good section in Book 6 on flood hydraulics. This discusses difference in solution scheme such as finite difference, finite volume, finite element, and implicit versus explicit. <br>
