Example models with high-resolution outputs are available in the <u>[[TUFLOW_Example_Models|TUFLOW Example Models]]</u> dataset.
 
For the HR output, the water level at each HR output location is interpolated from the computed 2D water levels. The(see depth<u>[[#Water_Level_Interpolation_Methods|Water isLevel theInterpolation differenceMethods]]</u> betweenfor the interpolated water level and the sub-grid elevationdetails). This differs from the standardThe depth output which calculates the depths at cell centres and corners first, then interpolates the depths to the standard output grid locations (default is halfcalculated thedifferently cell size). The difference between thefor standard (left) and HRhigh-resolution (right) depth interpolation processes is illustrated below.outputs:
:* Standard depth output: The depth is calculated at cell centres and corners first, then interpolated to the standard output grid locations (default is half the cell size). This is shown in the image on the left.
 
:* High-resolution depth output: The depth is the difference between the interpolated water level and the sub-grid elevation. This is shown in the image on the right.<br>

The advantage of the HR output is that it can retain the sub-grid detail of the terrain information even at a coarse cell size. As compared in the example below, the HR depth output shows a clear flow path even at a 100m grid. However, nicer depth output does not mean reliable hydraulic result. In fact, the 100m cell size is too coarse to produce reliable/converged hydraulic results for any real-world flood model. It's is strongly recommended that the model convergence/benchmarking tests are conducted based on the standard map output. The HR output should be used for presentation purpose only.
