For example, a model with direct rainfall over the entire domain applies a passive tracer via 2d source area (2d_sa) polygons. The output can be set up to identify areas with tracer concentrations above a certain threshold, distinguishing firewater extents from other inundated areas. Areas outside of this represent zones with zero tracer concentration. Tracers can also include decay and settling parameters for added flexibility. This method not only simplifies the process but also ensures compliance with CIRIA (Construction Industry Research and Information Association) guidance by integrating rainfall and firewater scenarios into a single simulation.
 
== What guidance is available for Non-Newtonian Mixingmixing Exponentsexponents and Dispersiondispersion Coefficientscoefficients in the TUFLOW Advection Dispersion Modulemodule? ==
The Non-Newtonian Mixing Exponents (m, o, and p) were introduced in the 2023-03-AC release to improve how TUFLOW models non-Newtonian fluids. These exponents control how yield stress and density change as fluid concentration varies.

Currently, there is no guidance for dispersion coefficients when mixing pure water with non-Newtonian fluids. Suitable values should be determined based on laboratory tests or studies specific to the fluid being modelled.
 
== What are the limitations of the Advection Dispersion module when modelling Non-Newtonian flow through 1D elements in TUFLOW? ==
When using the Advection Dispersion module for non-Newtonian flow in models that include 1D elements, the following simplifications and limitations apply:
