| − | The TUFLOW Wiki contains information relating to the building, running and processing of hydraulic models using TUFLOW. The Wiki is designed to be a repository of information that is regularly updated to accommodate new features in the TUFLOW software and to reflect feedback from users. The site has been divided into four sections:
| + | The <u>[https://www.tuflow.com/ TUFLOW Website]</u> is designed to be used in conjunction with the TUFLOW Wiki.<br> |
| − | * The <u>[[TUFLOW_Message_How_To|TUFLOW Message Database]]</u> containing a comprehensive list of messages outputted by TUFLOW Classic and GPU models. For each message, guidance is provided on the likely causes and suggested solutions where applicable.
| + | The <u>[https://www.tuflow.com/products/ TUFLOW Products]</u> page on the TUFLOW website provides information on the TUFLOW range of products including additional modules.<br> |
| − | * The <u>[[Tutorial_Introduction|TUFLOW Tutorial Model]]</u> containing step-by-step instructions on building, simulating and viewing the results of a TUFLOW model. Instructions have been provided for the SMS, MapInfo, ArcMap and QGIS platforms.
| + | The <u>[https://tuflow.com/Library.aspx TUFLOW Library]</u> page on the TUFLOW website contains a number of publications, presentations and technical documents that are available for download.<br> |
| − | * The <u>[[FMA Challenge 1 (1D-2D linked)|TUFLOW Demo Models]]</u> containing information on the three models developed as part of the Floodplain Management Association 2012 Annual Conference 2-D Modelling Challenge.
| + | The <u>[[Tutorial_Introduction|TUFLOW Tutorial Models]]</u> were created for new users to provide them with the basic skills needed to develop a model and view the results.<br> |
| − | * The <u>Tips and Tricks</u> section contains methods to streamline the process of building and running models and the manipulation of their results, using TUFLOW software products and other third party software. <br>
| + | The <u>[https://docs.tuflow.com/classic-hpc/manual/latest/ TUFLOW Manual]]</u> is designed to provide guidance during TUFLOW modelling.<br> |
| − | <br>
| + | The <u>[[ TUFLOW_Licensing | TUFLOW Licensing]]</u> page provides all possible licence options.<br> |
| − | In each of these sections the main pages are locked for editing only by TUFLOW administrators, however each page also has a discussion page can be edited by members. Users can access the discussion page by clicking the discussion tab at the top left of each page. <br>

| − | ==What is TUFLOW?==
| |
| − | TUFLOW is a suite of powerful numerical model engines for flood and coastal modelling.<br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | '''TUFLOW Classic''' is our flagship 1D network and 2D fixed grid based software for simulating flood and tidal flow. TUFLOW's unparalleled 1D/2D dynamic linking capabilities, robustness, established performance and wide ranging functionality, arguably make it the world's most powerful 1D/2D hydrodynamic computational engine.<br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | '''TUFLOW HPC''' is our new 2D fixed grid software package. The software uses a computers graphic card for its computations, instead of the computer’s processing unit (CPU). This change has significant run time benefits, resulting in between 10 to 100 times reductions in simulation time compared to TUFLOW Classic. The runtime benefits of this software are extremely powerful for broad-scale regional assessments which may have otherwise been too computationally intensive to model using a CPU.<br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | '''TUFLOW FV''' is our new 2D/3D flexible mesh, finite volume numerical model that simulates hydrodynamic, sediment transport and water quality processes in oceans, coastal waters, estuaries, rivers and floodplains. The flexible mesh model structure allows users to modify mesh resolution spatially, seamlessly increasing the model resolution in areas of interest. This modelling approach reduces the number of computation cells in a model and hence reduces simulation times. Additionally, TUFLOW FV has been parallelised. This means users can fully capitalise on the computing power of multiple processor/thread computers. TUFLOW FV has its own [https://fvwiki.tuflow.com/index.php?title=Main_Page Wiki site], [https://tuflow.com/fvforum/ Forum], and [https://tuflow.com/FV%20Documentation.aspx Manual].<br>

| − | ==TUFLOW Licensing==
| |
| − | A valid TUFLOW license is required to run TUFLOW however is not required when building or viewing the results of a model using third party software. Licenses may be purchased directly from BMT WBM or from other on-sellers of TUFLOW.<br>
| |
| − | Note that the simulation of the TUFLOW Tutorial and Demo Models do not require a license.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===BMT Licenses===
| |
| − | A comprehensive price list of all TUFLOW products is available on the [https://tuflow.com/Prices.aspx TUFLOW website]. Please email [mailto:sales@tuflow.com sales@tuflow.com] for any sales enquiries or to receive a formal quotation.<br>

| − | ==TUFLOW Training==
| |
| − | ===Tutorial Model===
| |
| − | The <u>[[Tutorial_Introduction|TUFLOW Tutorial Model]]</u> has been created for new users to provide them with the basic skills needed to develop a model and view the results. Each module of the tutorial demonstrates several commonly encountered real-life project examples. All the background model data is provided along with step-by-step instructions that take you through the process of setting up and running TUFLOW, troubleshooting and checking your model, and viewing and analysing results. The tutorials have been set up to support a number of different GIS software packages, text editors and results viewers to suit the user’s preference. The tutorial model is able to be simulated without a TUFLOW license. | |
| − | The files required to simulate the Tutorial model are available from the [https://tuflow.com/Tuflow%20Tutorial%20Models.aspx Downloads] page of the TUFLOW website. Full documentation is provided on the <u>[[Tutorial_Introduction|TUFLOW Tutorial Model]]</u> Wiki page. | |

| |
| − | BMT are able to provide a range of training services including generalised or bespoke training, as well as carrying out model reviews. We have staff located across Australia, in the UK and the USA. Please refer to the [https://www.tuflow.com/Training.aspx Training page] on the TUFLOW website or email [mailto:training@tuflow.com training@tuflow.com] to discuss your specific requirements and to obtain a quotation.
