== Introduction ==
Review the TUFLOW CATCH timeseries outputs:
Line 6 ⟶ 5:
** Groundwater: Cumulative groundwater water flow and associated pollutant masses leaving the TUFLOW HPC model and entering the receiving polygon.
** Total: The combined data from the above surface water and groundwater mass balance outputs.
* Receiving polygon instantaneous inflows and concentrations as a timeseries.
Additionally, review the TUFLOW HPC mesh results (.xmdf file) using the <u>[[TUFLOW_Viewer | TUFLOW Viewer]]</u>.
 
Line 12 ⟶ 11:
Review the time series data for the receiving polygon:
<ol>
<li> In Windows File Explorer, navigate to the '''TUFLOWCatchTUFLOWCATCH\bc_dbase''' folder and open '''TC01_001_catchment_hydraulic_receiving.csv'''.
<li> This file contains incoming flow and pollutant concentrations at an5-minute intervalintervals, of 5mins. This interval isas defined viaby the <tt><font color=blue>whatCatch command??BC Output Interval Lateral </font><font color=red>==</font> ??300</tt> command in the .tcc. <br>
<li> Salinity and dissolved oxygen are both constant pollutants. As such, sotheir thecorresponding outputsoutput values should be constant throughout the entire simulation. <br>
<br>
[[File: graph of constant pollutants over timeTC1_constant_pollutants_vs_time_01b.png]]<br>
<br>
<li> Alive and dead E. coli have been defined with the same pollutant export parameters, so their outputs should be equalthe same. <br>
<br>
[[File: graph of ecoli over time?TC1_ecoli_vs_time_01b.png]]<br>
<br>
<li>Temperature has been provided as a timeseries with four input data points ('''temperature.csv'''). TUFLOW CATCH has interpolated these to produce temperatures at each timestep in the output timeseries file.<br>
<li> <font color=red> what to say about flow vs pollutant?</font><br>
<br>
[[File: TC1_temp_vs_time_01b.png]]<br>
[[File: graph of flow vs pollutant concentrations, pathogens on separate graph]]<br>
<br>
<li> When plotting flow against pollutant concentrations, a noticeable spike appears once the dry store release threshold is reached, followed by a gradual decline for the remainder of the simulation. <br>
:'''Note:''' The pathogen concentrations are plotted on a logarithmic scale.
<br>

<br>
</ol>
 
Review the mass balance time series data:
<ol>
<li> In Windows File Explorer, navigate to the '''TUFLOWCATCH\bc_dbase''' folder and open '''TC01_001_catchment_hydraulic_mass_balance.csv'''.
<li> This file contains the total surface and groundwater flow (m³) and associated pollutant masses leaving the TUFLOW HPC model and entering the receiving polygon ('''2d_rp_TC01_001_R'''). Outputs are written at the same interval as '''TC01_001_catchment_hydraulic_receiving.csv'''.<br>
<li> No groundwater has been simulated in the model, so those flows will be zero.
</ol>
 
== TUFLOW HPC Map Results ==
Review the TUFLOW HPC Map outputs with the TUFLOW Viewer:<br>
:'''Note:''' For further guidance on how to plot, view and style results, please refer to <u>[[TUFLOW_Viewer | TUFLOW Viewer]]</u>.
<ol>
<li> Load the '''2d_mat_TC01_001.shp''' layer from the '''TUFLOW\model\gis''' folder into QGIS.
<li>Open the TUFLOW Viewer from the TUFLOW Plugin toolbar.<br>
<br>
[[File:tuflow_plugin_tuflow_viewer.png]]<br>
<br>
<li>Open the simulation results. Select File > Load Results - Map Outputs. Navigate to the '''TUFLOWCatchTUFLOWCATCH\results''' folder and select '''TC01_001_catchment_hydraulic.xmdf'''.
<li>In the TUFLOW Viewer panel, select 'Conc SED_CLAY' from the Result Type list. AsOutput the outputconcentration concentrationsvalues often vary significantly, makingwhich themcan difficultmake toresult interpret,interpretation itdifficult. isAdjusting recommendedthe symbology to adjusthave thea symbologysmaller concentration range, as shown in the video below., A smaller concentration range will enhance theimproves visibility of finer differences in the outputs. <br>

<li>Review the pollutant concentrations of clay and E. coli throughout the model simulation. NoticeObserve how the water flowsmoves over theacross different material regions.
:'''Note:''' The symbology of 'Conc WQ_PATH_ECOLI_ALIVE_CFU_100ML' has been updated similarly to above.
<br>
{{Video|name=animation_TC1_results_02b.mp4|width=1432}}<br>
<li>Zoom in to the downstream end of the model. Use the Plot Time Series tool to see the pollutant concentrations at various locations around the receiving polygon. These time series concentrations should be similar to the '''TC01_001_catchment_hydraulic_receiving.csv''' output. <br>
<br>
{{Video|name=animation_TC1_results_03a.mp4|width=1432}}<br>
<li>Select 'Dry Mass WQ_PATH_ECOLI_ALIVE_CFU_100ML' from the result type list. This is the dry mass of the accumulated alive E. coli. Notice that at the start of the simulation, there is no dry mass, but as the model continues, the dry mass accumulates on the paddocks, and then runsreduces offwhen rainfall occurs. <br>
